FAQs
When should I bring my child for their first dental visit?
It’s best to schedule their first visit by their first birthday or as soon as their first tooth appears. This helps them build familiarity with the dentist, ensures their oral development is on track, lays the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy habits and prevents future issues before they arise.
What if my child is nervous about seeing a dentist?
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for kids, which is why we take the initiative to create a relaxed and fun environment for children. From fun demos in the dental chair to gentle conversations explaining each step, we work to build trust with your child. Distractions like child-friendly entertainment and an empathetic team ensure their visit is as stress-free as possible.
Why is it important to care for baby teeth?
Although they eventually fall out, baby teeth play a vital role in your child’s oral health. They guide the alignment and spacing of permanent teeth and support proper chewing and speech development. Neglecting baby teeth can lead to issues like premature tooth loss, which affects the positioning of adult teeth, or decay which impacts overall oral health.
