When should my child first see a dentist?
As your child grows, they will hit new milestones, including visiting a dentist. We recommend visiting the dentist within six months of the first tooth coming in or by their first birthday. Early pediatric care is an opportunity for your little one to familiarize themselves with the dental environment and keep their oral development on track. After the first visit, your child should see the dentist every six months.
What are the available pediatric dentistry services?
Our child-friendly services include:
- Dental exams: Pediatric dental check-ups help us detect and treat dental issues when they are easy and less costly to treat.
- Dental cleanings: Our gentle but thorough cleanings help remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas in the mouth.
- Dental sealants: Dental sealants create a firm, protective barrier that shields your teeth from cavity-causing bacteria.
- Fluoride treatments: Fluoride strengthens your child’s teeth to prevent tooth decay. They reduce the potential of cavities in baby teeth by about 33%.
- Digital X-rays: We use safe X-rays to monitor your child’s oral development. They also help detect minor dental issues even before symptoms appear.
- Pediatric emergencies: We are ready to help your child when dental emergencies strike. Whether it’s a debilitating toothache or a broken tooth, you can count on us for expert, timely care.
- Restorative care: We offer pediatric fillings and other restorations to restore your child’s healthy smile.
