It is recommended that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early visits help establish good dental habits and monitor dental development.

Prepare your child by talking about the visit in a positive and reassuring manner. Reading books about going to the dentist or playing pretend dentist can also help familiarize them with the experience.

Children should have dental check-ups every six months to ensure optimal oral health and catch any potential issues early.

Contact our office as soon as possible for guidance and treatment. For a toothache, you can provide pain relief with a cold compress and over-the-counter medication until you can see the dentist. For dental injuries, keep the area clean and seek prompt dental care.

Yes, fluoride treatments are safe and effective for children. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. We use age-appropriate fluoride treatments and provide guidance on proper fluoride use at home.

Make brushing and flossing a fun and regular part of your child’s routine. Use child-friendly toothbrushes and toothpaste, and set a good example by maintaining your own oral hygiene. Positive reinforcement and rewards for good brushing habits can also be motivating.
