How we quote child's first dental visit
We do not publish a figure for this treatment, because the honest answer is that it depends on what we find. Two patients needing child's first dental visit can need very different work. You get your cost in writing after the examination and X-ray — before anything begins.
No surprise billing. We quote after the X-ray and examination, not
during treatment. If the plan changes clinically, we stop and discuss it with you
first. Send a photo on WhatsApp beforehand and we will tell you what is likely involved.
Child's First Dental Visit — frequently asked questions
At what age should a child first see a dentist?
By the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Most Indian parents come far later, usually when there is already pain, which makes the first experience a negative one.
Do milk teeth really need treating if they fall out anyway?
Yes. Milk teeth hold space for the permanent teeth, and infection in a milk tooth can damage the developing adult tooth underneath. The last milk teeth are not lost until around age twelve.
My child is terrified of dentists. What do you do differently?
We schedule extra time and do nothing invasive on the first visit. The child sits in the chair, sees the instruments, and leaves. Trust built in one appointment saves years of dental anxiety.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Digital X-rays use very low radiation and we take them only where they change the diagnosis, always with a lead apron and thyroid collar.
