At a Glance
Dental Care for Every Age
We see children at every stage:
- Babies and toddlers. A first visit by the first birthday, plus tips on teething and brushing.
- Preschoolers. Gentle checkups that build good habits and positive feelings about the dentist.
- School-age kids. Cleanings, fluoride and sealants on new permanent molars.
- Teens. Checkups, sports mouth guards and advice on keeping smiles healthy.
Why Baby Teeth Matter
Baby teeth help your child chew, speak clearly and smile with confidence, and they hold space for the permanent teeth growing underneath. Cavities in baby teeth can cause pain and infection, so early checkups and good habits make a real difference.
A Comfortable First Visit
A child’s first visit is short and gentle. We count teeth, check gums and jaw growth, and show your child our tools in a friendly way. We also answer your questions about teething, thumb sucking, brushing and snacks.
Getting your child comfortable with the dentist early makes later visits easier. Our team is patient with nervous kids, and a warm blanket and a show on Netflix help little ones relax.
Preventing Cavities at Home
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste: a smear the size of a grain of rice for children under 3, and a pea-sized amount from age 3
- Help with brushing until your child can do it well, usually around age 6 to 8
- Start flossing once teeth touch each other
- Keep sugary drinks and sticky snacks to mealtimes, and offer water between meals
- Don’t put your baby to bed with a bottle of milk or juice

Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
When should my child first see a dentist?
Experts recommend a first dental visit by your child’s first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth coming in.
How often should children have checkups?
Most children should be seen every six months. We may suggest more frequent visits if your child is prone to cavities.
Are dental X-rays safe for kids?
Yes. Digital X-rays use a very low dose of radiation, and we take them only when they help us see something an exam can’t.
Should my child get sealants?
Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth and are often placed when the permanent molars come in, around ages 6 and 12. We’ll let you know when your child is ready.
What should I do if my child chips or knocks out a tooth?
Call us right away. Don’t try to put a knocked-out baby tooth back in. See our emergency dentist page for first-aid tips.
