Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry
When should my child first see a dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting.
Are baby teeth really that important?
Yes. Healthy baby teeth help children chew, speak, and hold space for permanent teeth. Early dental visits help preserve their function.
What if my child is nervous about the dentist?
Our team is trained in child behavior management and takes a friendly, educational approach to ease anxiety. We create a positive experience so children look forward to future visits.
How often should kids visit the dentist?
Most children should see a pediatric dentist every six months for routine cleanings and exams.
