At what age should my child start going to the dentist?

Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help monitor oral development and get your child comfortable with dental care.

‍

How often should my child see the dentist?

Like adults, children should have dental checkups every six months to keep their teeth healthy and catch any issues early. We may recommend more frequent visits if your child is prone to cavities or has other dental concerns.

‍

Are baby teeth important if they eventually fall out?

Yes! Baby teeth play an important role in your child’s oral development. They help your child speak and chew properly and guide the permanent teeth into place. Taking care of baby teeth is essential for your child’s overall oral health.

What should I do if my child is scared of the dentist?

It’s normal for children to feel nervous about visiting the dentist. We recommend bringing your child in early for fun, low-pressure visits so they can get used to the environment. Our friendly team will take the time to explain everything in a way that makes your child feel comfortable.

What happens if my child has a cavity?

If your child develops a cavity, we’ll remove the decay and restore the tooth with a tooth-colored filling. We use gentle techniques to make the procedure quick and comfortable.

How can I prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?

To prevent cavities, help your child brush and floss daily, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and schedule regular dental checkups. Preventive treatments like fluoride and dental sealants also provide extra protection.
