FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1. When should my child have their first dental visit?

It is recommended around the child's first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing.

Q2. Do baby teeth really need treatment if they will fall out anyway?

Yes, baby teeth support proper chewing, speech, and guide permanent teeth into position, so cavities in them should still be treated.

Q3. How often should children have dental check-ups?

Routine check-ups every six months are generally recommended to monitor development and catch issues early.

Q4. What are dental sealants and are they necessary?

Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, and they are highly effective in preventing cavities.

Q5. My child is anxious about dental visits — how is this handled?

A gentle, patient approach with simple explanations and a welcoming environment is used to help anxious children feel at ease.
