Frequently Asked Questions
It’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. This early visit helps to establish a dental home for the child and allows the dentist to monitor growth and development from the start.
Familiarizing your child with the concept of a dental visit can help ease any anxiety. You can read them books about going to the dentist, play dentist at home, and consistently talk about dental visits in a positive light. Choosing a pediatric dentist who is experienced in dealing with children and their fears can also make a significant difference.
Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) to prevent decay. They act as a barrier to food, plaque, and acid, thus protecting the decay-prone areas of the teeth. Sealants are recommended for children and teenagers because they are at a higher risk for cavities.
Children should ideally have dental checkups every six months to allow for early detection and treatment of issues such as tooth decay or improper tooth alignment. Regular visits also help build their comfort and familiarity with the dental care environment.
If your child knocks out a permanent tooth, try to find the tooth and rinse it gently without scrubbing. If possible, reinsert it in the socket and hold it there with a clean cloth or gauze. If you can’t reinsert the tooth, place it in a container of milk or your child’s saliva and take your child and the tooth to the dentist immediately. Time is critical for successful re-implantation. For a baby tooth, it’s usually not re-implanted, but you should still visit the dentist to ensure no fragments are left behind.
