Visiting the Dentist With a Toddler

Regular dental checkups are essential to maintaining proper oral health. Dental visits are not to be used solely to fix pain and problems, but rather to be proactive with oral hygiene.

During the visit, the dentist and dental hygienist will inspect your child’s teeth and gums for any problems or changes and answer any questions you may have.

Your Toddler’s Dentist May:

Clean and polish the teeth
Apply fluoride varnish or gel
Floss between the teeth
Take x-rays if necessary
And provide general dental education

Forming a Positive Relationship With the Dentist

Help your child develop a healthy relationship with the dentist by regularly visiting the dentist yourself. Children model the patterns of their parents, so if they see that you are apprehensive, there is a good chance that your child will develop similar attitudes towards the dentist. Don’t express fear of the dentist and perhaps even suggest a fun activity afterwards to get your child looking forward to their dental appointment!

My husband and I signed our daughter up for daycare at Children's Campus in a desperate need. We had the opportunity to tour the center which we instantly fell in love with everything about it. Since our daughter has been attending Children's Campus she has done nothing but flourish in development. All of her teachers that she had been with since being here have been the sweetest and most caring, and that does not stop with the teachers as all of the staff at this center share constant love for the children. This is all evident by always being greeted with cheerful smiles, as well as witnessing everyone else being treated the same.

By spending time in my children's classrooms, I have witnessed the teachers' dedication and passion for working with children. Each day provides a stimulating experience in an atmosphere that fosters learning, as well as development of social, emotional, and gross and fine motor skills, all of which helps boost self-esteem. Each day when I drop them off I am confident Children's Campus provides a loving, nurturing , and attentive environment where my kids can play, learn, grow, and thrive!
