Visiting your dentist

  • The earlier you take your child to the dentist the better as they will getused to going.
  • Many dentists will sign children on at birth and your child shoulddefinitely see a dentist once their first teeth appear.
  • Waiting until there is a problem is not a good introduction to thedentist.
  • Remember, dental services for children are free, either from a familydentist (general dental practitioner) or the community dental service.
  • The local library and health board will have lists of family dentists.
