Children’s dentistry in Muscat
We see children for check-ups, cleaning and fillings, and take time to help them feel at ease in the chair, so their first visits are good ones.
When to bring your child
Bring your child once the first teeth come in, and then for regular check-ups. Come sooner if you see a dark spot or a hole in a tooth, if your child has toothache, or if a tooth is knocked or chipped.
At the visit
The dentist looks at your child’s teeth and gums, explains what she sees in plain words, and shows you and your child how to brush well. Baby teeth with decay are filled, because they hold space for the adult teeth.
At home
Brush twice a day with a small amount of fluoride toothpaste, help young children until they can brush well on their own, and keep sweets and sugary drinks to mealtimes.
Questions patients ask
How much does a child’s dental visit cost?
It depends on what your tooth needs, so we don’t list prices online. Send us a message on WhatsApp.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
Once the first teeth come in.
Do baby teeth really need fillings?
Yes. Decay in a baby tooth can hurt and spread, and baby teeth hold space for the adult teeth.
