Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Take your child to the pediatric dentist every six months for regular checkups. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your child’s oral health.
What dental problems can my child have at such an early age?
Your child’s teeth are at risk for having tooth decay as soon as the first tooth comes out. Cleaning your child’s teeth after eating is necessary to avoid build up of plaque, which eventually causes a cavity to form. In addition, the child’s diet is important. Sugar consumption should be limited because bacteria will feed off the sugar on the teeth, and produce acids which will attack the tooth enamel and create a hole. This causes cavities. Early visits to the dentist will help evaluate your child’s risk of developing cavities, and other oral disease.
When should I start cleaning my baby's teeth?
Maintaining your baby’s oral hygiene should start before their first tooth comes out. Wipe your baby’s gums with a clean and soft washcloth after feeding, and before you put them to sleep. Wrap the cloth around your finger and gently rub it along the gums.

What are dental sealants? And does my child need them?
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the surface of the teeth to avoid dental cavities. They fill in the grooved surfaces of the teeth that are hard to clean, and prevent food particles from getting stuck. The liquid sealant hardens and forms a protective layer over the enamel of each tooth. Your child should visit the dentist for sealant application as soon as their molars and premolars erupt. It will protect their teeth for five years or more.
