Frequently Asked Questions
If you cannot find an answer to your question, please contact the EyeSmile team. We are on hand to answer any questions you may have personally.
When should a child first visit the dentist?
At EyeSmile, our recommendations is that your child should have their first dental appointment when their first tooth breaks through the gum, or at the latest by their first birthday, depending on what comes first. Early visits are important, familiarising your child with the dental environment, creating a positive and relaxed experience. This also enables our team to provide personalised advise on cleaning, fluoride and diet.
How often should children visit the dentist?
The majority of children benefit from a six monthly dental check-up, though there are some children at higher risk of decay or who have orthodontics, resulting in them needing to be seen more often. Your dentist will recommend a personalised time frame, based on your child's dental needs.
What are fissure sealants?
Fissure sealants are protective coatings, applied to the biting surface of the molars. These teeth have deep groves that are not easy to clean and therefore, they are prone to decay. The fissure sealant fills the grooves, creating a smooth surface, making it easier to clean. This is a fast and painless procedure, that is highly effective when it comes to preventing cavities.
My child is anxious about the dentist — can you help?
The EyeSmile team are experienced in working with anxious children and helping them feel comfortable when at the dentist. We don't rush children's appointments, we go at the pace your child is most comfortable with, using simple language so your child knows what is happening, along with letting children see and touch the instruments before starting, making them feel more comfortable and at ease. If your child is very anxious, we do recommend a no-treatment familiarisation appointment, where your child receives a tour and gets to meet the team.
