Here are some FAQs about general dentistry:
What age should I take my child to the dentist for the first time?
It is recommended that you take your children for their first dental appointment when they are around six months old. If you notice that your children have discolored teeth, you will want to bring them in before this.
What should I use to clean my baby’s teeth?
Any soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head. There are toothbrushes designed specially for infants that are perfect to use at bedtime. Prior to your baby having teeth you can also rub along the gums with a soft clean washcloth with your fingers.
What should I do if my child has a toothache?
First, you will want to rinse the irritated area with warm water and place a cold compress on your child’s face it if is swollen. You can give your child acetaminophen for the pain. Once you do this, make sure that you see your dentist as soon as possible.
How often should I go to the dentist?
How often you should see the dentist depends on your oral health and needs. Even the healthiest of mouths are recommended to be seen twice per year for dental cleanings and at that time is when an exam is also completed. Some are seen more frequently, like every 3-4 months to ensure that their oral health status is staying stable due to history of gum disease, higher calculus production on the teeth, or even poor oral hygiene on the teeth.
