Frequently Asked Questions
About Children's Dentist
At what age should I bring my child to a children's dentist?
It’s never too early to start thinking about your child’s dental health. The first dentistry visit is recommended by 12 months of age or within six months of the first tooth coming in.
At this visit, a dental staff will assess your child’s oral health and provide tips on how to care for their natural teeth. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions about your child’s dental development. If you wait until your child is older, they may be more resistant to dental visits and treatment. So don’t wait—make an appointment with a children’s dentist today!
What happens if I don't clean my child's teeth daily?
If you don’t clean your child’s teeth daily, they may start to experience tooth decay. Tooth decay is caused by plaque on the teeth, which can lead to cavities. If left untreated, cavities can cause pain, bacterial infection, and eventually tooth loss. In addition to causing dental problems, plaque can also cause bad breath.
How do I prevent plaque buildup on my child's teeth?
It’s important to start dental hygiene early with your kids to help prevent plaque buildup on their teeth. Here are a few tips:
- Brushing twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste.
Be sure to brush on all sides of the teeth, including the back molars. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush so you don’t damage your child’s delicate gums. - Flossing once a day.
This helps to remove plaque between the teeth that the toothbrush can’t reach. Many types of floss are available, so ask your dentist which one is right for your child. - Eating a balanced diet and avoiding sugary snacks.
A healthy diet helps to keep teeth strong and less likely to develop cavities. - Visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups.
This allows your dentist to catch any problems early and gives your child the best chance of maintaining good oral health.
How do I take care of my child's baby and permanent teeth?
It’s important to start taking care of your child’s teeth as soon as they come in.
Baby teeth are important for holding space for permanent teeth and helping with proper chewing and swallowing function. You can clean your baby’s teeth by gently brushing them with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush. Be sure to use water and not toothpaste, as toothpaste can be too abrasive for baby teeth. You should also clean your child’s gums by wiping them with a soft cloth or gauze pad.
As your child grows, you’ll need to start using toothpaste. Be sure to supervise their brushing and choose a fluoride toothpaste appropriate for their age. You should also continue to wipe their gums daily. Regular dental visits are also important for keeping your child’s teeth healthy. A dental professional will check for cavities and other problems during these visits and provide professional cleanings.
