To support your little one’s growing smile, it’s important to find a pediatric dentist your child trusts and feels comfortable with. At Aventis Dental in George Town, you can rest assured that we offer your family the very best, gentle, and most compassionate dental care in a child-friendly environment.

With nearly three decades of experience treating developing smiles, our pediatric dentist, Dr Childers, knows how to examine and treat children in ways that keep them comfortable and cooperative, bringing a level of expertise and a gentle approach that makes every visit positive and stress-free.

Your child’s first visit

During your little one’s first check-up, pediatric dentist, Dr Childers, will examine:

Which teeth have erupted
Assess the development of the jaw
Check for cavities in the teeth or enamel issues
Assessing gum health for inflammation
How the teeth bite together and how the bite is developing
Examining the tongue, palate, lips and roof of the mouth

Your child’s first appointment at Aventis Dental will include a warm welcome and a brief tour to introduce them to the dentist and the tools, helping ease any fear.

Following this, we’ll conduct a gentle visual examination, often performed with the child on their parent’s lap.

Dr Childers strongly believes in the power of preventative care and knows that the best results start early. That’s why we recommend regular check-ups and provide oral health guidance to teach parents and children proper brushing and flossing techniques and to promote healthy eating habits to prevent cavities.

When to visit

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Starting early helps ensure their teeth and gums remain healthy from the outset.

Regular dental visits are important for children of all ages. Dr Childers ensures every child has a fun, positive experience, helping them build confidence and maintain excellent oral health from the very start.

Why early visits matter

Helps children feel comfortable and reduces their fear of the dentist.
Allows dentists to identify issues such as decay or bite problems early.
Establishes good habits and a positive attitude towards dental care.
Reduces dental anxiety and builds confidence.
Ensures correct and proper tooth development.
Avoids costly dental treatments in the future.
