Who Knew A Visit To The Dentist Could Be So Much Fun?


momstown Mississauga mamas and little ones had a fun time at our Discovery Field trip to City Heights Dental. There was a lot to learn! Did you know that dentists recommend that you take your baby to her first dental checkup at 12 months? Dr Rai from City Heights Dental recommends bringing your babies with you to your checkup so they are familiar with the dentist’s office. This familiarity will help when it is time for baby’s first checkup.



Dr Rai showed us how to brush baby’s teeth and gums and answered many questions about ensuring that you and your child are maintaining great oral healthcare. If you give your baby milk before bed, Dr Rai advises wiping baby’s gums and teeth with a textured cloth or giving them some water to remove the milk residue from their teeth. It is also recommend that you assist your child with brushing their teeth until they are at least 8 years old. Young children do not possess the dexterity to properly clean all of their teeth.
 

Our little ones had a great time playing and colouring in the waiting room. They loved wearing cool sunglasses and sitting in the big chair to get their teeth examined.  We have another field trip to City Heights Dental in March so be sure to sign up. Spots are limited!

  1. That's the difficult part to get kids to a dental clinic. Dentist always recommend to bring the babies for their first visit in the dental clinic, so they will get familiar to the clinic. Our professional always recommend kids to brush and floss their teeth on a regular basis, so it will keep their dental problem free. You can visit etobicoke dentist for a quality and a pain-free dentistry. Our years of practice have embraced the areas of cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry to the patients.

  2. No reason why a trip to the dentist shouldn't be fun. It isn't just drills and hooks; those are mere misleading imagery and should not preclude the nature of the process, much less it's necessity. This is, of course, dependent on the manner and professionalism of the ensuing dental work. as well as the dentist himself.

  3. It is true that when a child gets familiarized with the doctor and procedures, he/she would feel less anxious regarding dental appointments. I can tell that Dr. Rai is very professional and empathic when handling toddlers. Thanks for sharing! :)
