Frequently Asked Children's Dentistry Questions

Let us explain more about how we can help your little ones.
  • When Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?
    We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit around their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. This early visit allows us to monitor their oral development and provide guidance on early dental care habits.
  • What Can I Do to Alleviate Teething Discomfort for My Baby?
    Teething discomfort is common as your baby’s teeth erupt. We can recommend soothing techniques and provide guidance on safe teething toys or products to help alleviate discomfort.
  • How Should I Care for My Infant’s Gums and First Teeth?
    Gently wipe your infant’s gums after each feeding with a water-soaked gauze pad or damp washcloth. Once teeth appear, establish a daily brushing routine using a small, soft-bristled toothbrush and a smear of fluoridated toothpaste after age 2.
  • When Will My Child’s Baby Teeth Start to Come In?
    Your child’s 20 primary teeth typically begin to erupt between six and nine months of age, with the two lower front teeth appearing first, followed by the upper front teeth, molars, and canines.
  • How Can I Help My Child Develop Good Oral Hygiene Habits?
    Encourage regular brushing and flossing habits as soon as your child is able, and supervise their brushing routine until they can effectively brush on their own, usually around age 6. We provide guidance on techniques and tools to make oral hygiene enjoyable and effective for your child.
