Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
When should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help in monitoring development and establishing a foundation for good oral health.
How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?
Talk to your child about the visit in a positive, upbeat manner. Consider reading children’s books about going to the dentist. Ensure your child is well-rested, and bring along a favorite toy or blanket for comfort.
What is preventive dental care for children?
Preventive care includes regular dental check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants to protect against cavities, and education on proper brushing and flossing techniques.
How often should my child visit the pediatric dentist?
We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. These visits are essential for maintaining oral health and catching potential issues early.
What should I do in case of a pediatric dental emergency?
Contact our office immediately. We offer advice on immediate steps to take and will schedule an emergency visit if necessary to address the issue promptly.
How can I prepare my child for their dental appointment?
You can help prepare your child for their dental appointment by talking to them about the importance of dental care in a positive and age-appropriate manner. You can also read books or watch videos about visiting the dentist to help familiarize them with the experience.
