What is a pediatric dentist?
A pediatric dentist is a specialist dedicated to the oral health of children and the monitoring of their facial growth and development. A pediatric dentist is trained in dealing with behavior through different approaches from early on through teenage years.
What will happen during my child's first visit?
Our office is designed to be a child friendly and fun environment. We do a dental examination in an age appropriate manner. Our staff will review the child's health history with you. We will evaluate the health of the teeth, gums, and your child's bite. We will perform a head and neck examination.
Parents are allowed to go back to the dentist rooms with their children.
When should my child start getting his or her teeth
and how many teeth should my child have?
The first tooth to erupt is usually a lower front tooth. It begins to come in between four to eight months. They are followed by the upper front teeth which begin to appear eight to twelve months. The last tooth to erupt is usually the upper second molars which usually appear between the ages of 25 to 33 months. There will be a total of 20 teeth, 10 on top and 10 on bottom.
What type of toothpaste should my child use?
Use an American Dental Association (ADA) approved toothpaste for brushing your child’s teeth. Do not start fluoridated toothpaste until two years of age because the fluoride concentration is high and young children can swallow it. A half-pea sized amount of paste is sufficient for small children.
