The best time is as soon as your child has teeth!
Prevention through education is better than cure!!

Dr. Leande Erasmus takes special interest in kids dentistry and practices her love for children by educating them in an entertaining manner while treating their dental needs.
Your Child's First Dental Visit
We would like to make this visit as pleasurable as possible for the children. This would usually consist of an evaluation, radiographs and small procedures unless emergency treatment is needed. Our aim is to train the children to get used to the dentist and dental environment as quick as possible.
Please ensure that you motivate your child in a positive manner prior to appointments.
My child is very anxious?
If your child is very scared of the dentist and will not cooperate in the dental chair there is an option of Conscious Sedation to consider, rather than booking the theater in a hospital at a much lower cost and less hassle. The Anaesthetist comes to the dental office with his equipment and administers the sedation for us as dental team to peacefully continue with the dental work. This reduces the child's anxiety levels and promotes a good dentist-patient relationship with behavioral change.
Children of all ages are welcome!!
