It’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help identify potential issues and make your child comfortable with dental care from a young age.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the extraction. Some soreness or discomfort may be experienced afterward, but this is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and proper aftercare.

During your child’s visit, we’ll check for cavities, monitor development, clean their teeth, and provide guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet. We aim to keep the visit fun and stress-free!

Stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods, as well as using straws, which can disrupt healing.

A dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site becomes dislodged or dissolves prematurely, exposing the bone and nerves. You can prevent it by avoiding smoking, drinking through a straw, and vigorous rinsing after the extraction.
