Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my child visit the dentist?
It is recommended that children visit the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. Regular visits help to monitor oral health, prevent cavities, and ensure that teeth are developing correctly.
What are dental sealants, and how do they help?
Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They help prevent cavities by sealing out food and bacteria from the grooves in the teeth, making them easier to clean and less prone to decay.
At what age should my child first visit the dentist?
Your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help establish good oral hygiene habits and allow the dentist to monitor the child’s dental development.
Is thumb-sucking harmful to my child's teeth?
Thumb sucking is normal in young children, but if it continues once permanent teeth start to come in (around age 5-6), it can lead to alignment issues or bite problems. A dentist can provide guidance on how to help your child break the habit.
What should I do if my child has a toothache?
If your child complains of a toothache, rinse their mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce any swelling. You can also give them over-the-counter pain relief, but it’s important to schedule a dental appointment as soon as possible to determine the cause of the pain.
What is pulp therapy (baby root canal)?
Pulp therapy, often referred to as a baby root canal, is a treatment to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. It involves removing the infected pulp tissue from the inside of the tooth while preserving the rest of the tooth to prevent further infection and maintain dental function.
How can I prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?
To prevent cavities, encourage regular brushing and flossing, limit sugary foods and drinks, and ensure that your child has routine dental check-ups. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants can also help strengthen teeth and protect them from decay.
What should I do if my child’s tooth is knocked out?
If your child’s tooth is knocked out, find the tooth, hold it by the crown (not the root), and rinse it gently with water. Try to place the tooth back in the socket if possible, or store it in a container of milk. Seek emergency dental care immediately to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
