Pediatric Dentistry – Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child first visit the dentist?

We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by age 1 or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help establish good oral habits and allow us to monitor development.

What happens during a child’s first dental visit?

The first visit is gentle and educational. We do a soft exam, clean the teeth (if needed), and discuss brushing, diet, and habits like thumb sucking. Our goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience.

How often should my child see the dentist?

Children should visit the dentist every six months for cleanings, checkups, and preventive care—just like adults. Regular visits help prevent cavities and catch problems early.

What if my child is afraid of the dentist?

We specialize in gentle, compassionate pediatric care. Our team uses child-friendly language, calming techniques, and fun distractions to make your child feel safe and relaxed during every visit.

Do you offer fluoride treatments or dental sealants?

Yes! Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent cavities, while sealants protect the grooves of molars from decay. These treatments are safe, quick, and effective preventive tools for kids.

Are baby teeth really that important?

Yes. Healthy baby teeth are essential for proper chewing, speech development, and guiding adult teeth into place. Early loss or untreated decay can lead to long-term dental problems.
