Process of Pediatric Dental Care

Initial Consultation: The process begins with an initial consultation where we review your child’s dental and medical history, discuss any concerns, and conduct a gentle examination of their teeth and gums.

Preventive Care: Preventive care includes cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect your child’s teeth from decay and maintain their oral health.

Education: We educate both parents and children on proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and dietary recommendations to promote healthy teeth and gums.

Treatment Planning: If any dental issues are identified, we will create a personalized treatment plan and discuss it with you to ensure your child receives the best possible care.

FAQ

  • At what age should my child first see a dentist?

    Your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help establish a dental home and allow us to monitor your child’s oral development.

  • How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?

    To prepare your child for their dental visit, talk to them about what to expect in a positive and reassuring manner. Reading books about going to the dentist or watching videos can also help familiarize them with the process. Bring along a favorite toy or comfort item to make them feel more secure, and schedule the appointment at a time when your child is well-rested and likely to be cooperative.

  • Are dental X-rays safe for children?

    Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children. We use low-radiation digital X-rays and take every precaution to minimize exposure, ensuring your child’s safety while allowing us to effectively monitor their oral health.

  • Are crowded or crooked teeth normal in children?

    Yes, crowded or crooked teeth are common in children as their mouths grow and develop. These issues often resolve on their own as the child grows, but regular dental checkups are important to monitor their development and determine if orthodontic treatment may be needed in the future.
