Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Pediatric Dentistry Mean?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on dental care for children from infancy through their teen years. Pediatric dentists are specially trained to manage the unique changes in children’s mouths as they grow into adulthood.
When Should I Take My Child to the Dentist for the First Time?
Children should visit the dentist by age 1 or within six months of getting their first tooth, which typically begins around six months of age. If you suspect your child is in pain or discomfort, don’t wait—book an appointment as soon as possible.
When Do You Stop Seeing a Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists typically provide care for patients up to 18 years old, focusing on the dental health of anyone under the age of majority.
How Often Should a Toddler Visit the Dentist?
Like adults, toddlers should visit the dentist every six months, unless otherwise recommended. Some children may benefit from more frequent visits, such as every 3 or 8 months, based on their needs and budget. It’s essential not to exceed a year between appointments, and any signs of discomfort or pain should prompt an immediate visit.
Regular visits to a pediatric dentist are key to maintaining your child’s oral health and building lifelong habits!
