Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my child knocks out a tooth?

If your child loses a permanent tooth, try to keep it moist and contact us immediately. For baby teeth, we’ll assess the situation to determine the best course of action to prevent future dental issues.

How can I help my child manage dental anxiety?

We recommend talking positively about the dentist, bringing comfort items, and arriving early to help your child feel more relaxed. Our team is trained to create a welcoming and stress-free environment.

When should my child first visit the dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing.

What are the signs of a cavity in children?

Common signs include tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold foods, visible holes, or white or brown spots on the teeth. Regular check-ups help catch cavities early.

How can I encourage good dental habits at home?

Lead by example by brushing and flossing your own teeth. Make oral hygiene fun with colorful toothbrushes, tasty toothpaste, and reward systems for consistent brushing.

How do I know if my child’s dental problem needs urgent care?

If your child is experiencing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or if a tooth has been knocked out, contact us immediately for emergency care.
