FAQS
Frequently asked questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
We recommend a first visit around age three or as soon as the first teeth appear.
How often should children visit the dentist?
Children should visit every six months for cleanings and checkups, or more frequently if needed.
When do baby teeth fall out?
Baby teeth typically start falling out around age six. All primary teeth are usually replaced by age twelve.
Should I be concerned if my child grinds their teeth?
Some grinding is normal, but we’ll monitor it. If excessive, a night guard may help.
What if my child has a cavity?
We treat cavities with tooth-colored fillings that look natural. Early treatment prevents larger problems.
Does my child need fluoride treatments?
Fluoride strengthens teeth and prevents decay. We recommend fluoride treatments during regular visits.
How can I help my child maintain healthy teeth?
Encourage brushing twice daily, flossing, limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and regular dental visits.
Is it normal for my child to have overlapping teeth?
Some overlap is normal. We’ll monitor alignment and discuss options if problems develop.
