Childrens Dentistry in Midtown Manhattan

It is expected that your child will be quite nervous and afraid. It will be their first time to visit a dentist, and they probably assume that they will get injection or extraction. We advise parents to orient your child before going to our dental clinic entirely, let them know that we are harmless and child-friendly. Encourage them to take dental check-up to avoid possible dental problems like toothaches.

During the appointment, we allow parents to guide their children while having the assessment. However, we also motivate parents to let them be with the dentist to form a trust relationship with us. We will also ask you some medical-related questions regarding your child for records purposes.

On the assessment, our dentist will check the child’s current teeth, possible decayed teeth, child’s bite and potential dental problems on the gums or jaw. Our dentist will also perform teeth cleaning and teach the child on proper oral hygiene. Aside from a comprehensive assessment of your child’s teeth, part of CHILDRENS DENTISTRY Manhattan is to orient parents and children on how to conduct proper oral hygiene. Children are prone to cavities that can lead to tooth decay.

We will also discuss to you on the oral habits of your child like thumb sucking, lip sucking, and tongue thrusting. We will also relay to you the development of your child’s dental health and milestones. Our dentist will also discuss your the adequately balanced diet and proper nutrition of your child. We highly recommend parents to set a regular appointment like every six months in monitoring the development of your child’s oral health but as well as to achieve a full trust of your child.
