FAQ
At what age should my child have their first dental visit?
Your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help to establish a dental home and allow our dentists to monitor your child’s oral development. These visits also provide an opportunity for parents to learn about proper oral hygiene practices, diet and habits that can prevent dental issues.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Children should visit the dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. Regular visits help prevent cavities and other dental issues by allowing our dentists to detect problems early and provide timely treatment. These visits also reinforce good oral hygiene habits and help children become comfortable with dental care, reducing anxiety about future visits.
What dental treatments are available for my child?
Our caring dentists and team offer a number of general dental treatments for children, including routine dental cleanings and exams, dental sealants and fluoride treatment. While our goal is to help your child avoid dental problems, we also understand that sometimes a restorative treatment may be needed and offer options such as tooth-colored fillings and baby tooth root canals. Our dentists will discuss your child’s oral health needs and treatment options with you so you can make the decision that is right for your child’s oral health and smile.
Are X-rays safe for my child?
Dental X-rays are safe for children when proper precautions are taken. Pediatric dentists use low-radiation digital X-rays and protective lead aprons to minimize exposure. X-rays are an important diagnostic tool that helps our dentists detect cavities, monitor tooth development and identify potential issues that are not visible during a regular exam. The benefits of diagnosing and treating dental problems early outweigh the minimal risk from X-ray exposure.
How can I help my child prevent cavities?
Preventing cavities involves a combination of good oral hygiene practices, a healthy diet and regular dental visits. Encourage your child to brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and to floss daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and promote a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Regular dental checkups every six months are essential for professional cleanings and early detection of any potential issues. Sealants and fluoride treatments can also offer extra protection against cavities.
