Frequently Asked Questions
Children typically begin teething around the six-month mark. It’s advised that they have their first dental appointment by the age of 1, or within six months after their first tooth appears. Should you notice any signs of discomfort or suspect any issues, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment immediately. Remember, it’s never too late to bring your child in for their inaugural dental visit.
The duration of the appointment varies based on the child’s specific needs and their level of cooperation throughout the exam. Generally, an appointment lasts around one hour.
Baby teeth hold equal significance to adult teeth. It’s crucial for parents to recognize that these primary teeth are not merely placeholders for adult teeth. They play a key role in shaping a child’s facial appearance, their smile, and the frequency of their smiles. Early confidence and the habit of smiling broadly are traits that children who enjoy dental health often maintain. Conversely, even minor dental discomfort, which children might learn to accept as normal, can adversely affect their dietary habits, influencing their chewing patterns, food preferences, and overall food intake.
Just like adults, toddlers, children, and teens should visit the dentist regularly. We suggest scheduling a checkup and cleaning every six months, unless advised differently. Should your child experience tooth or jaw pain, frequently rub or hold their jaw, or shy away from hard or cold foods, please make an appointment earlier than scheduled.
Your oral health encompasses more than just your teeth; it involves a complex system that includes the teeth, tongue, gums, cheeks, glands, ligaments, joints, bones, and more. If any part of this system experiences issues, it can affect the health of your entire mouth. Symptoms like swollen, itchy, sore, or bleeding gums can be early signs of a more significant underlying issue.
A cavity represents a growing hole in a tooth that can expand over time. Not all cavities cause pain or sensitivity, but it’s crucial to address them early to prevent further damage or infection, even in baby teeth. The root causes of cavities include bacteria and dental plaque, with sugary or acidic foods and beverages exacerbating the issue. Additionally, certain individuals may be more susceptible to developing cavities than others.
We know family schedules can be incredibly busy! To help, we offer the convenience of scheduling simultaneous appointments for your entire family. Just give us a call, and we’ll be glad to arrange this for you.
