Frequently Asked Questions
 


1. When should my child first see a dentist?
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears—whichever comes first.
 

2. How often should my child visit the dentist?
Children should see a dentist every six months for regular cleanings and exams, just like adults.
 

3. Are baby teeth really that important?
Yes! Baby teeth help with speech development, proper chewing, and act as placeholders for adult teeth.
 

4. What if my child is scared of the dentist?
Our team specializes in making kids feel comfortable. We use calming language, kid-friendly explanations, and lots of encouragement to ease dental anxiety.
 

5. Do you offer emergency dental care for kids?
Absolutely. We offer same-day appointments for urgent dental issues like toothaches, chipped teeth, or injuries.
