Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s recommended to bring your child to the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth emerging. Early visits can help establish a positive dental experience. If you notice any signs of discomfort or potential issues, don’t wait—schedule an appointment promptly.
Baby teeth are essential for more than just holding space for permanent teeth. They play a critical role in shaping your child’s smile, confidence, and facial development. Dental pain, even if mild, can affect eating habits, chewing, and appetite, which is why maintaining healthy baby teeth is vital.
The duration of your child’s first appointment will depend on their individual needs and how well they cooperate during the exam. Generally, expect the appointment to last about one hour.
Just like adults, your child should visit the dentist every 6 months for a checkup and cleaning, unless advised otherwise. If your child experiences any pain or discomfort, such as tooth or jaw pain, or avoids certain foods, schedule an appointment sooner.
Cavities are caused by bacteria and plaque buildup on teeth, which can be worsened by sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Cavities may not always cause pain, but it’s crucial to address them early to prevent further damage or infection. Some children may be more prone to cavities than others.
Gum health is a key part of overall oral health. Swollen, sore, or bleeding gums can indicate an underlying problem that may affect other parts of the mouth, including the teeth, joints, and bone. Addressing gum health early is essential for maintaining a healthy mouth.
We understand that family life is busy! To make things easier, we can schedule multiple appointments side-by-side for your entire family. Give us a call, and we’ll be happy to accommodate your needs.
