Your child’s first dental visits play an important role in shaping how they feel about oral care as they grow. At City Gardens Dental, we recommend bringing your child in at around the age of three. These early appointments are about more than just checking teeth—they’re an opportunity to build familiarity with the dental environment, encourage confidence, and establish healthy habits from the very beginning.
We focus on creating a calm, friendly setting where children feel safe and supported. Dr Shaun Day—well known across the Albury-Wodonga region for his gentle and reassuring approach—has a keen interest in paediatric dentistry and is passionate about helping young patients feel comfortable in the chair.
Early visits allow children to become familiar with the sights, sounds, and routines of the dental clinic, which can significantly reduce anxiety in future appointments. They also give parents valuable guidance on brushing techniques, teething, thumb-sucking, and key developmental milestones.
Just as importantly, early prevention allows us to identify potential concerns—such as early signs of decay, bite issues, or developmental changes—before they become more complex. This proactive approach supports your child’s oral health at every stage.
By starting early and attending regularly, you’re helping your child build a positive relationship with dental care—one that supports lifelong oral health.
