to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend bringing your child to Orchard Family Dental by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears, typically around 6 months old. If you notice any signs of discomfort or have concerns about their oral health, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment. Early visits are key to fostering good dental health habits.
Baby teeth play a crucial role in your child’s development, influencing their facial structure, smile, and self-confidence. Maintaining their health affects their eating habits and overall self-esteem, ensuring their permanent teeth come in properly.
Appointments typically last about one hour, depending on your child’s cooperation and their specific dental needs.
Just like adults, children should visit the dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings every six months. If your child experiences oral discomfort or any issues, bring them in sooner to prevent any complications.
Cavities are holes in the teeth caused by tooth decay, often influenced by plaque, bacteria, and sugary or acidic foods. While they can be painless at first, cavities can lead to more serious issues if untreated, even in baby teeth. Early intervention is crucial to prevent further damage.
Healthy gums are essential for the stability and longevity of your child’s teeth. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to broader health concerns such as heart disease and diabetes. Good gum health ensures strong teeth and overall wellness.
