The first dental check-up when your child is three years old
At the first dental check-up when your child is three years old the focus will primarily be on your child getting to know the clinic. It is not a check-up as you know it from your own visits to the dentist.
Please notice that the invitation, which you will receive as Digital Post, as well as the dental check-up, will, as a rule, be in Danish. Please inform the clinic, if you or your child is unable to speak Danish.
When your child was 14-16 months you visited the dental clinic for the first time for a talk about teeth and dental care. When your child is three we will invite your child to the first dental check-up.
The first dental check-up
- Your child can try moving up and down in the dentist’s chair.
- Their teddy bear or doll is very welcome to take a ride on it too.
- Your child can try sucking up water from a mug with the suction tube.
- The air and clean water compressor also tend to be a big hit.
- We count how many teeth your child has.
- We discuss together how best to care for your child’s teeth.
Before the visit
We encourage you to talk to your child about three things:
- That you are going to visit the dentist
- That the dentist will show your child what things he or she has there (a chair that moves up and down, a mirror, a suction tube).
- That your child can show the dentist how many teeth he or she has.
