Children’s Dentistry at Norlane Dental – Building Strong Smiles from the Start
Start Early, Smile for Life
At Norlane Dental Surgery, we understand that a child’s first experiences at the dentist can shape their attitude toward oral care for years to come. That’s why our Children’s Dentistry focuses on creating positive, educational, and gentle experiences for kids from infancy through adolescence.
Why Early Dental Care Is So Important
Establishing good dental habits early helps prevent cavities, gum issues, and anxiety about dental visits. Regular check-ups allow our team to monitor your child’s oral development and provide age-appropriate treatments and advice.
First Visits – When and Why?
Your child should visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. These early visits help:
- Ensure teeth are developing properly
- Catch early signs of decay
- Provide guidance on brushing, diet, and habits like thumb-sucking
- Familiarise your child with the dental setting
What We Offer in Children’s Dentistry
- Gentle exams and cleanings
- Fluoride treatments and fissure sealants
- Education on brushing, flossing, and nutrition
- Monitoring jaw growth and bite alignment
- Preventive strategies to keep baby and adult teeth healthy
Creating Confident Little Patients
