Worried About Taking Your Child To The Dentist?

You’re not alone!

We know that bringing your child to the dentist fills many parents with dread.

  • Will they sit still?

  • Will they be nervous?

  • Will it be a battle just to get them through the door?

That’s why we’ve created an environment that makes dental visits easy, stress-free, and even fun!

Not only do our team know how to make little ones feel comfortable, engaged, and in control…

(So appointments feel less like a chore and more like a positive experience!)

We also understand that early experiences at the dentist can shape how a child feels about dental care for life.

That’s why we focus on gentle, reassuring care and making visits something they actually look forward to.

Whether your child needs a routine check-up, preventative care, or treatment…

The earlier they visit Market Street Dental, the better!

Why Parents Trust Us

Kid-Friendly Appointments

We provide a relaxed approach to dentistry that helps little ones feel comfortable from the moment they walk through the practice doors.

Gentle, Modern Treatments

If your child needs treatment, we use gentle techniques, child-friendly explanations, and a reassuring approach to ensure both you and them are at ease.

We Support Parents, Too!

Whether it’s teething troubles, picky eaters, or first wobbly teeth, we’re here with expert advice to make dental care at home easier.

What Age Should I Book My Child’s First Dental Appointment?

We recommend bringing them in as soon as their first tooth appears or by their first birthday

At their first check-up, we will:

  • Gently examine their teeth and gums to check for early signs of decay or any issues

  • Give you tailored advice on brushing, teething, and diet to protect your child’s teeth

  • Make it a fun, positive experience so they feel comfortable coming back for their next check up

The goal is to prevent problems before they start and to help children feel relaxed and confident at the dentist from an early age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child won’t sit still during their appointment?

That’s completely normal! We use a gentle, no-pressure approach, we’ll talk your child through what’s happening, and use fun distractions to keep them comfortable.

Should I bring my child to the dentist even if they don’t have any problems?

Yes! Regular check-ups help prevent problems before they start. Even if everything looks fine, we can make sure their teeth are developing properly and offer advice to keep them healthy.

What should I do if my child is scared of the dentist?

Start by talking about the dentist in a positive way, avoid using words like “pain” or “scary,” and let them see you brushing and taking care of your own teeth. We’ll also help by making their visit fun, reassuring, and stress-free!

What if my child sucks their thumb?

It’s normal for young children, but long-term habits can affect their teeth and jaw development. If you’re worried, we can give you gentle, no-judgment advice on when and how to help them stop.
