Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you may have questions about your child’s dental care. Here are some of the most common inquiries to help guide you.
What age should my child start seeing a dentist?
It’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help establish a positive relationship with the dentist and allow us to monitor your child’s oral health.
How can I help my child overcome dental anxiety?
To help reduce dental anxiety, make dental visits fun and positive by talking to your child about their visit beforehand, explaining what will happen in a calm and reassuring way, and bringing comfort items such as a favorite toy or blanket.
What are sealants, and are they necessary for my child?
Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent cavities. They are highly recommended for children, especially as their permanent teeth come in, to protect against decay in hard-to-reach areas.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
We recommend regular dental check-ups every six months for most children. Regular visits help prevent issues such as cavities and allow us to catch any potential problems early.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a tooth injury or severe pain, contact our office immediately. We’ll provide guidance on the next steps and ensure your child gets the care they need as soon as possible.
What types of insurance do you accept?
We accept a variety of dental insurance plans. Please contact our office to verify your specific plan, or bring your insurance details with you during your visit, and we’ll be happy to assist with the process.
