It’s essential to start dental care early. At what age should a child go to the dentist? According to pediatric dental guidelines, children should have their first dental check-up by the age of 1, or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early visits help establish a healthy oral care routine and allow us to monitor the development of their teeth.
For children aged 7 and above, it’s important to maintain regular visits for cleanings, cavity prevention, and orthodontic assessments. Can a 7-year-old go to a dentist? Absolutely! In fact, it’s a critical age for monitoring growth and identifying any potential dental issues.
What to Expect from a First Visit?
Your child’s initial visit will be friendly and educational, focusing on building comfort with the dental chair. Our team will check for early signs of tooth decay, evaluate your child’s bite, and provide guidance on brushing and flossing routines.
You may be asking, What is children’s dentistry? Pediatric dentistry is a specialized field focusing on the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. Our dentists have additional training in child psychology and behavior management, making them well-equipped to handle everything from routine check-ups to more complex treatments with care and precision.
At My Dentist Canberra, we understand that a child’s dental experience can shape their attitude towards oral health for life. That’s why we create a fun, welcoming environment where children feel safe and comfortable. Our experienced team specializes in kids’ dental care, ensuring that their first visits are positive and educational, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
As a parent, you naturally have questions about your child’s dental health. Let’s address some of the most frequently asked questions:
You can begin cleaning your baby’s gums even before teeth come in, and start brushing their teeth as soon as the first tooth appears—usually around 6 months.
Signs include sensitivity to hot or cold foods, visible spots or pits on the teeth, and complaints of tooth pain. Regular check-ups help catch cavities early.
Children typically require fillings between the ages of 4 and 7, depending on when decay occurs. Early prevention through proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups can delay or even avoid fillings.
By the age of 7 or 8, children should have the motor skills needed to brush and floss effectively, but supervision is still recommended until around age 10.
At My Dentist Canberra, our goal is to help prevent issues before they start. What age is dental cleaning pediatric? We recommend that kids start getting their teeth cleaned as soon as their first teeth erupt, typically by their first birthday, and continue every six months thereafter.
Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, plaque build-up, and gum disease. We also offer fluoride treatments to strengthen teeth and dental sealants to protect against decay in those hard-to-reach areas.
Does your child need a mouthguard? For children who participate in sports, mouthguards are crucial to protect their teeth from injury. We custom-make mouthguards for the best fit and protection.
Our clinic provides a full range of pediatric dental services:
For parents, staying informed about your child’s oral health is important. We take the time to explain procedures, answer your questions, and work with you to develop the best care plan for your child.

As a parent, you naturally have questions about your child’s dental health. Let’s address some of the most frequently asked questions:
Use a fluoride toothpaste, but only a smear (about the size of a grain of rice) for children under 3. For ages 3 and up, a pea-sized amount is recommended.
Children can start flossing when two teeth begin to touch. Typically, this happens between the ages of 2 and 6.
Kids should visit the dentist every six months for cleanings and check-ups to ensure any issues are caught early.
