FAQs
When should my child have their first dental visit?
Children should visit the dentist by age one or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help prevent cavities and make dental care comfortable from the start.
How often should kids see the dentist?
Most children should visit every six months for cleanings and exams. Some kids may need more frequent visits based on their oral health.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Yes. Digital X-rays use very low radiation and are safe for kids. They help us monitor tooth development and detect issues early.
What helps prevent cavities in children?
Regular brushing, flossing, routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants are the best ways to prevent cavities.
What if my child is nervous about the dentist?
Our team uses a gentle, friendly approach to help kids feel relaxed. We explain each step in kid-friendly terms and move at their pace to create a positive experience.
When should children get an orthodontic evaluation?
An early orthodontic evaluation is recommended around age seven. This helps identify bite or alignment issues before they become more complex.
