Frequently asked questions
When should I bring my child in for their first dental visit?
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help us monitor their oral health, establish good dental habits, and make your child feel comfortable and confident in the dental chair.
How can I prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?
Preventing cavities starts with healthy habits! Ensure your child brushes twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flosses daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and encourage a balanced diet. Regular dental checkups every six months allow us to clean their teeth and provide preventive treatments like fluoride applications or sealants.
What can I do if my child is anxious about visiting the dentist?
Dental anxiety is common, and we’re here to help! Start by speaking positively about dental visits and avoiding scary words like “pain” or “needle.” Bring your child to observe a sibling’s visit or book a “meet and greet” appointment to get them familiar with our team and the office. We use gentle techniques tailored to children to ensure every visit is a positive and stress-free experience.
