Pediatric Dentist Near You
Here, we love all teeth… Even the tiny ones!
​A child’s first visit to the dentist should start as early as 6 months after their first tooth erupts. Early visits to the dentist help children to develop a trusting relationship with their dentist. This also helps to lessen anxiety in future visits.

From teething to teenager, oral health is important for all young people. We recommend bringing your youngster in twice yearly to have a check-up and teeth cleaning. Twice a year check-ups and cleaning help to prevent minor problems from developing into bigger ones. 

We care about preventing pain for all our patients, especially the little ones

It is important to establish healthy routines and practices early on in life. This is the reason why many parents choose carefully the types of habits and routines they teach their children in the earliest years of their lives. One of the most important places to begin would be their health and dietary habits.

​Teaching your child the importance of oral health will translate into the habits they develop as an adult. This can also help with your child’s overall outlook on seeking dental treatment and routine visits to their pediatric dentist at Access Dental in Kelowna.

Your child’s first visit to the dentist should always be a positive experience. According to the AAPD (American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) guidelines, the recommended visit should be on their first birthday. The child’s outlook about this would lie heavily on the parent’s outlook and attitude towards the visit. As parents, you must communicate this in an effective and positive manner to lead to the best outcome.
You can prepare for your child’s first visit to our dental clinic by doing the following steps:
  • Take another adult with you for the visit. When your child feels anxious, the possibility of moving around is extremely high. Having another adult to soothe and distract him can be of help.
  • Avoid bringing other children along during the appointment at Access Dental in Kelowna. Other kids may feel scared or may become a distraction to both the parent and the child. It is important to keep the environment less stressful and more focused.
  • Positive language about the pediatric dentist near you is critical. It is important to avoid the use of threatening language like bleeding, injections, needles, and drills.
  • When you get to the dentist, it is important to choose your words wisely. Explain the process as positive as possible. To help build rapport with the child, allow the pediatric dentist at Access Dental in Kelowna to answer some of the questions.
  • Kids do not like surprises. Proper mindset and conditioning are needed for their cooperation.
  • At an early age, you can easily explain the steps or the things that are to happen. This will give your child a level of expectation. You can do this with the use of informative and fun looking books.
