Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit around their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help establish a “dental home” and allow us to monitor your child’s oral development, provide preventative care, and answer any questions you may have.
How often should my child see the dentist?
Like adults, children should visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleanings. This allows us to catch any potential problems early on and provide timely treatment.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
We understand that dental anxiety is common in children. Our team is specially trained to work with anxious children, using gentle techniques and positive reinforcement to create a comfortable and stress-free experience. We also encourage parents to talk to their children about the dentist in a positive way and avoid using any negative language or scare tactics.
My child sucks their thumb/uses a pacifier. Should I be concerned?
Thumb sucking and pacifier use are normal habits for young children. However, prolonged habits can affect the alignment of teeth and the development of the jaw. We recommend weaning your child off these habits by age three to avoid any potential orthodontic issues.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe toothache, please contact us immediately. We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible to ensure your child receives prompt care.
Mouthguards
Protect your child’s teeth during sports and activities with custom-fitted mouthguards.
Sealants & Fluoride Treatments
Shield young teeth from cavities with sealants and strengthen enamel with fluoride treatments, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Space Maintainers
Preserve space for permanent teeth and ensure proper alignment with space maintainers, especially after premature tooth loss.
