Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help establish a dental home and ensure your child’s teeth are developing properly.
What can I expect during my child’s first dental visit?
Your child’s first visit will be a gentle introduction to the dentist’s office. We’ll review your child’s dental and medical history, perform a comprehensive exam, and provide tips for maintaining good oral hygiene. Our goal is to make this visit as comfortable and educational as possible for both you and your child.
What are the options for treating cavities in children?
We offer several treatment options for cavities, including:
– Composite (white) Fillings – Tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
– Pulpotomy – A procedure to treat an infected tooth nerve
– Dental Crowns – Made from porcelain (white) or stainless steel (silver), that cover and protect a tooth that has been severely affected by cavities
What is micro-abrasion, and when is it used?
Micro-abrasion is a minimally invasive technique used to remove superficial stains or discolorations from the enamel. It’s perfect for improving the appearance of your child’s teeth without the need for more invasive procedures.
What is space maintenance, and why is it important?
Space maintenance involves using a dental appliance to hold the space left by a prematurely lost baby tooth. This ensures that the permanent tooth can erupt in the correct position, preventing crowding and misalignment.
