Childrens Dentistry
Childs First Dental Visit
Children as young as three years of age are advised to visit the dentist every six months for a check-up and clean to help reinforce good dental care and maximise their chances of achieving lifelong healthy teeth and gums. At Kincaid Dental Centre we are dedicated to educating children from a young age the importance of looking after their teeth and gums. Your child’s mouth changes frequently during their early years. We take every step to ensure your child’s first experience with a dentist is a positive one. If you would like to learn more about how you can protect your children’s teeth please visit the link below to watch an educational video produced by ADA NSW:
