What happens at a child’s dental visit?
A children’s dental visit is an opportunity to check the teeth, gums and bite, discuss any discomfort, and help your child become familiar with dental care. Dr le Roux will ask about your child’s dental history and concerns, then explain the examination in a calm, age-appropriate way. The exact visit depends on your child’s age, comfort and oral health, so we assess this in person.
If treatment is needed, the dentist will explain the findings and discuss suitable options with you before proceeding. Possible risks and aftercare depend on the treatment recommended. You can ask questions and share anything that may help your child feel more at ease.
How can I help my child feel comfortable at the dentist?
A relaxed, matter-of-fact conversation before the appointment can help a child know what to expect. You might explain that the dentist will look at their teeth and answer their questions, without promising that a visit or treatment will feel a certain way. Bringing a familiar comfort item may also help, if appropriate.
During the appointment, Dr le Roux can explain each step and give your child time to settle in. Tell the practice about any worries, sensory needs or previous difficult dental experiences when arranging the visit. The approach is tailored to the child, and we assess what support is suitable in person.
How often should my child see a dentist, and what can we do at home?
The timing of check-ups depends on your child’s teeth, oral health, risk of decay and dental history. At the visit, Dr le Roux can recommend an appropriate review plan after examining your child rather than applying the same schedule to every family.
At home, help your child brush carefully with fluoride toothpaste suited to their age, and ask the dentist how much to use. Encourage water between meals and limit frequent sugary snacks and drinks. These habits support oral health but do not replace an examination; ask the dentist for advice tailored to your child.
How do I book, and when does the practice treat patients?

What age can my child start seeing a dentist?
A child’s first dental visit can be planned around their age, teeth and individual needs. If you are unsure whether your child is ready for an appointment, contact the practice and describe your concern. Dr le Roux can assess your child in person, explain what she finds and advise on suitable care. The visit can also help your child become familiar with the dental setting and give you a chance to ask questions about oral health at home.
What should I tell my child before the appointment?
Keep the explanation simple and reassuring: tell your child that the dentist will look at their teeth and talk with them about keeping their mouth healthy. Avoid promising that an examination or treatment will feel a particular way. Let the practice know about worries, sensory needs or previous difficult experiences when booking. Dr le Roux can explain the visit in age-appropriate language and adapt her approach after meeting your child.
What if my child has tooth pain?
Contact the practice and explain where the pain is, when it began and whether there is swelling or another concern. Tooth pain can have different causes, so a dentist needs to assess your child in person before recommending care. Do not rely on home advice as a substitute for an examination. The team can help you arrange an appointment during treatment hours, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00.
How can I help prevent tooth decay in my child?
Help your child brush regularly with fluoride toothpaste appropriate for their age, and ask the dentist about the right amount and brushing technique. Water between meals and fewer frequent sugary snacks and drinks can support healthy teeth. Children may need help or supervision with brushing, depending on their age and coordination. At a visit, Dr le Roux can discuss your child’s habits and oral health and offer advice suited to them.
Can I book a child’s appointment on WhatsApp at any time?
You can send a booking request on WhatsApp at any time through the practice’s booking assistant. Appointment confirmation takes place during practice hours, and the practice treats patients Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. A booking request does not mean treatment is available outside those hours. When you message, include your child’s age and a brief description of why you would like an appointment.
Will my child need treatment at the first visit?
Not necessarily. The first visit may focus on discussing your concerns, examining your child’s teeth and gums, and explaining any findings. Whether treatment is appropriate depends on the examination and your child’s individual needs. Dr le Roux will discuss suitable options, relevant risks and aftercare with you before treatment starts. The decision is made after an in-person assessment, rather than assumed in advance.
