CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY FAQS /

Visits, Care & Special Needs

This page explains what makes paediatric dental care different and how early dental visits support your child’s comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health. You will find answers about first visits, visit frequency, dental anxiety, and what to expect in our clinic. It also covers how we care for children with special healthcare needs and how parents are involved throughout treatment.

About Our Care

Paediatric dentists are specially trained to care for children’s teeth — from little babies to teens. We understand how kids grow, think, and feel, making every visit gentle, safe, and stress-free.

We are trained using special child behavioral guidance techniques which help keep the dental check-up and treatment positive and fun, all the while ensuring we deliver good quality dental care.

By their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears — whichever comes first! Early visits help little ones feel comfortable and allow us to prevent problems before they start.

Generally every 6 months. Regular check-ups help us catch small issues before they become big ones, keep teeth healthy, and gives your child lots of positive dental experiences! Should there be any specific situations for your child, your Paediatric Dental Specialist will advise you accordingly. Find us at our NU Empire Subang Jaya, PJ clinic.

We take things slow, explain everything in a child-friendly way, and use lots of positive reinforcement. Since we are specialists in paediatric dentistry, we are experienced in dealing with children who are afraid and anxious as we have been trained and given the insight on how to handle a variety of different challenges that we will face as paediatric dentists. Ultimately, our goal is to make dental visits something your child can smile about and even look forward to.

Children with Special Needs

Yes!

This is one of our main areas of expertise. We welcome all children, including those with developmental, medical, or sensory challenges. We tailor each visit to your child’s unique needs.

Absolutely. We encourage parents to be close by — your comfort helps your child feel safe and supported.

We use gentle behaviour guidance, clear communication, and lots of patience. With an understanding of the various stages of children’s social and cognitive development, we can specially tailor the visit to ensure their fears are addressed and they can feel comfortable to have their dental visit. You may let us know your specific concerns prior to the appointment, so our Paediatric Dentist is already prepared and can also help you prepare your child even before he walks in to see us.

There are other more advanced modalities we can use to ensure that any treatment your child needs can be carried out safely with minimal discomfort for your child.

If needed, we can discuss safe sedation and general anaesthesia options to make treatment calm and comfortable. These solutions truly do solve an impossible problem with ease.

A Happy Smile Starts with a Happy Experience

We’re here to make dental visits something your child can look forward to. Whether your little one is a giggler, a wiggler or a little nervous — we’ll meet them where they are, with patience, kindness, and we’ll be prepared to make it a positive experience for them.
