Paediatric Dentist

Optismile Paediatric Dentists Are Uniquely Suited to Attend to Your Child’s Individual Needs.

Many of the challenges of pediatric dentistry and orthodontics relate not to technical skill, but simply in making children feel comfortable and less anxious — something the caring pediatric dentists and staff at our practice excel at.

Why Choose A Paediatric Dentist?

Paediatric dentistry is an age-defined speciality that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special needs.

Paediatric Dentistry encompasses a variety of disciplines, techniques, procedures and skills that share a common basis with other specialities, but are modified and adapted to the special needs of infants, children, adolescents and those with special health care needs.

First Visit to Dentist

It is very important to make a child’s first visit to the dentist as positive and enjoyable as possible. At Optismile, we want your child to remain comfortable with the pediatric dentists at all times. A pleasant first visit to a pediatric dentist builds trust and helps put the child at ease during future dental visits!

When Should I Schedule My Child’s First Visit to the Dentist?

Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics recommend that a child’s first dental visit be scheduled by his or her first birthday.

Fearful or Anxious Children?

Our pediatric dentists are experienced in dealing with children with anxiety and can explain treatment procedures in a positive and pleasant manner to avoid any negative feelings toward dentistry. Our doctors and staff will explain everything in detail and will answer any questions. Children should be encouraged to discuss any fears or anxiety they feel. Parents should not make a big deal out of the visit and refrain from using any words that could cause unnecessary fear, such as “needle” or “drill.”

What's Involved during My Child’s First Dental Visit?

We will record your child’s dental and medical history, complete a comprehensive examination and discuss any findings with you. We will also review the importance of maintaining a good dental health program with you and your child to ensure a healthy and beautiful smile for life!
