Frequently Asked Question

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help establish good oral health habits and detect any potential issues early.

Baby teeth (primary teeth) play an essential role in your child’s development. They help:

  • Hold space for permanent teeth.
  • Aid in speech development.
  • Enable proper chewing and nutrition.
  • Build confidence in their smile.

Children should visit the dentist every six months for regular cleanings and check-ups. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits if your child has specific oral health concerns.

You can prevent cavities by: Brushing their teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Flossing once a day (once teeth touch). Limiting sugary snacks and drinks. Encouraging water over juice or soda. Scheduling regular dental cleanings and fluoride treatments.
Children can begin brushing their teeth with supervision around age 3–4, but they may need assistance until they develop the dexterity to brush effectively, typically by age 7–8.
Fluoride treatments can help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. During your child’s visit, the dentist will assess whether additional fluoride is needed based on your child’s oral health and diet.
If your child has a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, chipped tooth, or severe tooth pain: Rinse the mouth with warm water. If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist (in milk or saline) and contact us immediately. Call us for guidance or an emergency appointment.
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children. Pediatric dentists use low-dose digital X-rays, which minimize radiation exposure while ensuring proper diagnosis and treatment.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent cavities. They are especially effective for children, as these teeth are harder to clean and more prone to decay.
To soothe teething pain: Gently rub your child’s gums with a clean finger or a cold, wet washcloth. Provide a clean, chilled teething ring (avoid freezing). If needed, consult your pediatric dentist or pediatrician about safe over-the-counter remedies
Prolonged thumb-sucking or pacifier use can impact the alignment of your child’s teeth and jaw. It’s best to stop these habits by age 2–4. If your child has difficulty stopping, we can provide strategies and support.
Our dentists are trained to make visits comfortable and stress-free for children. Techniques like explaining procedures in kid-friendly terms, using distraction, and creating a fun, welcoming environment help ease anxiety.
  • Let them pick their toothbrush and toothpaste (with fluoride).
  • Use songs, timers, or apps to encourage brushing for two minutes.
  • Offer praise or small rewards for good oral hygiene habits.
