FAQs

When should my child first see the dentist?

Many children benefit from a first dental visit around their first birthday or when the first tooth appears. If you’re not sure, give us a call — we’ll guide you.

How often should kids get dental checkups?

Most children do best with visits every six months. If we see higher cavity risk, we may recommend more frequent visits for extra support.

My child is nervous. What can we do?

That’s completely normal. We keep things calm and encouraging, go at your child’s pace, and explain everything in kid-friendly language.

Do you offer sealants for children?

Yes — sealants are a quick, protective coating that can help prevent cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
