When should I bring my child for their first dental visit?

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts. Early visits help your child become familiar with the dentist and set the stage for a lifetime of good oral health.

How often should my child visit the dentist?

Just like adults, children should visit the dentist every six months for regular cleanings and checkups. These visits allow us to monitor your child’s oral health and catch any issues early.

What should I expect during my child’s dental appointment?

During your child’s visit, we’ll thoroughly clean and examine their teeth and gums. We’ll also apply fluoride and discuss treatments like sealants or fillings. For younger children, we focus on making the visit fun and educational!

Is fluoride safe for my child?

Yes! Fluoride is safe and highly effective at preventing cavities. It strengthens the enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay. We offer fluoride treatments as part of your child’s regular checkup.

What should I do if my child is anxious about visiting the dentist?

Dental anxiety is common, especially for young children. We’re here to help! Our team takes a gentle approach, using kid-friendly language and fun distractions to help children feel at ease. If your child is particularly anxious, let us know, and we’ll work with you to create a comfortable experience.

How can I encourage good dental habits at home?

Start by making brushing and flossing a fun routine! Encourage your child to brush twice a day for two minutes and floss once a day. You can also make healthy snack choices and limit sugary drinks. During your visits, we’ll provide tips on maintaining good oral hygiene at home.
