Give your kids a great start building good oral hygiene habits and monitor their progress as they grow into their beautiful smiles. We understand how challenging and rewarding family care can be and kids need extra special consideration. Having a healthy smile is such an important part of childhood, let’s get them started on the right path with guidance that’s personalized for their needs.
Getting ready for your first appointment
Feel free to talk to your child about the upcoming trip to the dentist. The main purpose of your child’s first visit is to relax, have some fun, and start building a positive relationship with the dentist. Sometimes, not knowing what to expect can make people feel a little nervous. Here’s what your child can expect during their first appointment:
Talk and Listen
We will talk to you and your child, explain what we’re going to do and why and familiarize your child with some of the tools we use. We speak in kid-friendly language and explain any lingo so they can feel as comfortable and assured as possible. See! We’re not so scary after all.
Gently Examine
We will gently examine your child’s gums, tongue, teeth and overall health. Our exam will uncover any areas of concern or tricky spots that may need some extra attention at home. We will provide you with personalized guidance and make a note to pay special attention to those spots during the next appointment.
Educate
We might ask your child to show us how they brush their teeth and then give them gentle instructions on how to improve brushing their teeth at home. We would love to answer any questions you or your child have about dental health.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

My experience at the Drayton Dental Clinic has been top notch from the first time I met Dr. Mang. He is so friendly and is a very compassionate person. He is always checking in to make sure that everything is okay during every procedure. He doesn`t want there to be any pain, as I'm always very relaxed during my appointment and he always shows an interest in what is going on in my world. He comes across to me as being very intelligent. I couldn`t ask for a better experience!

I had a great experience at Drayton Dental. Dr. Mang and his staff did an excellent job of taking care of my teeth. I really appreciate how well Annette at reception kept me updated with anything I need to know about for my family’s appointments. Kenzie and Charmaine both did great work as hygienists and explained everything thoroughly to me throughout my appointments. Dr Mang was friendly, knowledgeable and worked quickly to fix my dental concerns in this comfortable, modern facility.

My experience at Drayton Dental was excellent! The perfect combination of caring and professional, everyone I interacted with went above and beyond to ensure I was happy and comfortable. I had a cleaning and a new patient exam, and when they found a cavity, they were able to fill it within the same appointment. I highly recommend!
