At Stella Dental Suite in Stafford, we know how hectic family life can be — that’s why we make it as easy as possible to access high-quality, stress-free dental care for every member of your household.
We welcome families to attend appointments together, and offer early morning and late-evening slots to work around your school runs, workdays, and after-school activities. Whether it’s before breakfast or after bedtime stories, we’re here when you need us most.
Because taking care of your family’s oral health should be convenient, comfortable, and never feel like a chore.
At Stella Dental Suite in Stafford, we go the extra mile to ensure our younger patients feel safe, welcome, and at ease. Our team is trained to create a fun and friendly environment — one where children look forward to their visits, not fear them.
To encourage confidence and reward progress, we offer small, enjoyable incentives like balloons and stickers, making each visit feel like an achievement.
We recommend bringing your child to your own dental appointments from birth or as early as possible, so they grow up seeing the dentist as a familiar and positive place. Ideally, we aim to complete their first dental check-up before the age of three.
Early visits help us monitor your child’s oral development, offer preventive care, and build the kind of trust that leads to a lifetime of healthy habits.

At Stella Dental Suite in Stafford, we recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit between 6 and 9 months old — ideally around the time their first teeth begin to appear.
These early visits are not about treatment; they’re about helping your child become familiar with the dental environment and feel at ease with our team. By starting early, you’re laying the groundwork for a positive lifelong attitude toward dental care.
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel a little intimidating at first, which is why we focus on making these initial check-ups gentle, reassuring, and even fun.

Answer
Children’s teeth are more vulnerable to decay than adult teeth, as baby teeth are naturally softer and less protected. That’s why regular dental check-ups are essential — not just to keep young mouths healthy, but also to help children avoid pain and develop good oral hygiene habits early on.
At Stella Dental Suite in Stafford, we recommend that children visit the dentist every 6 months. These routine appointments allow us to:
Monitor the health and development of baby teeth
Catch signs of tooth decay or other issues early
Reinforce positive brushing and hygiene routines
Consistent visits also help children feel comfortable and confident at the dentist, making good dental care feel natural for life.
Answer
The toothpaste children should use depends on their age. Children’s toothpaste will have ages printed clearly on the label. Stick to age-appropriate toothpastes as they contain different levels of fluoride that are suitable for your child. A child should never use an adult’s toothpaste as the fluoride content is too high.
