children - information for parents

devon childrens dentistryWe are often asked when is the best time to start bringing children to visit the dentist. At Contemporary Dental, we like to see children from a young age in the practice.

We don't need to examine their mouth until they are about two and a half years old unless they have a problem at an earlier date.

It is good for them to visit before then to get used to the practice, to meet the team and maybe have a turn at sitting in the chair!

  • We want to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Children suffer less from gum disease, but are at risk of more aggressive decay.
  • Gum problems are usually limited to gingivitis at the edge of the gum due to poor, oral hygiene.
