FAQs About Pediatric Dentistry

Parent to parent, here are the answers to the most common questions about pediatric dentistry.

At what age do kids go to the pediatric dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing.

When should I start pediatric dentistry for my child?

Early visits help monitor tooth development and prevent problems. Starting by age 1 ensures your child’s smile stays healthy from the beginning.

How do I prepare my child for their first visit?

Keep it positive! Read children’s books about the dentist, play pretend visits at home, and reassure them that the dentist is a friend who helps keep their teeth strong.

What are dental sealants, and how do they help?

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They block food and bacteria from settling into grooves, preventing cavities.

How can I help my child overcome the fear of the dentist?

Choose a pediatric-friendly practice like Smile Design Dentistry, where our team specializes in calming nervous patients. Praise your child for their bravery and avoid sharing any personal dental anxieties.
