When should my child first see a dentist?
By their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth. That early visit lets us spot problems before they start and gets your child used to the chair. The American Dental Association recommends this timeline. We keep first visits short, gentle, and friendly.
Early visits build habits that last a lifetime. We show you how to brush little teeth and which foods cause cavities. Your child learns the dentist is a calm, friendly place, not something to fear. That early start saves pain and cost down the road.
Are dental sealants worth it for my kids?
Yes, for most kids they are well worth it. Sealants are a thin coating we paint onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities start. They can prevent about 80 percent of cavities in those teeth, according to the CDC. The process is quick and painless.
Back molars have deep grooves that trap food and are hard to brush clean. Sealants smooth those grooves so plaque cannot settle in. We usually apply them once the permanent molars come in, around ages 6 and 12. They are one of the simplest ways to keep your child cavity-free.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Call us right away and tell us what happened. We hold daily room for cracked teeth, lost fillings, and severe pain. Fast treatment often saves the tooth and ends the pain. Do not wait for it to settle on its own, since small problems grow overnight.
A few steps help before you reach the office. Rinse gently with warm water to keep the area clean. Use a cold compress on your cheek to ease swelling. Save any broken piece and bring it with you. Then call us, and we will guide you on what to do next.
