Frequently asked questions

At what age should a child first see the dentist?

It's generally recommended to plan a first visit as soon as the first teeth appear, or around age 2-3, to familiarise the child with the practice.

How can I prepare my child for their first appointment?

By talking about the visit positively, avoiding anxiety-inducing words ("injection", "pain"), and not passing on your own apprehension.

Is care for children different from care for adults?

Yes: the approach is more gradual and pedagogical, with technique and pace adapted to the child's age and comfort level.

Is paediatric dentistry covered by CNSS?

Centre Dentaire Halim is registered with CNSS; part of paediatric care may be reimbursed depending on your policy.

How can cavities be prevented in children?

Brushing twice a day from the first tooth, limiting sugar between meals, and regular check-ups remain the best prevention, complemented by fluoride treatment at the practice if needed.
