Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule my child’s first dental appointment?
Establishing positive dental visits from a young age is critical for both your child’s oral health and their perception of the dentist’s office. Your child should visit the dentist by the age of 1 or shortly after the eruption of their first tooth.
How can I create good dental habits at home?
Each child is unique and responds to a dental hygiene routine differently. One of the most important aspects of establishing healthy habits at home is leading by example. When your child sees you or their older siblings taking ownership of their oral health, they’re inclined to do the same. Consistency is key, so make sure you’re following the same routine each day.
Do children need more than two dental appointments per year?
Generally speaking, no. However, there are some instances when decay has already set in or dental trauma has occurred that you may need to bring them in for additional visits. Keeping up with their biannual cleanings allows us to accurately monitor their oral health and prevent larger issues.
