Questions
Kids dentist questions.
Answers to common questions. For advice about your own teeth, book a check-up.
When should my child first visit the dentist?
By their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing, then every six months.
Why treat milk teeth if they fall out anyway?
Milk teeth help children chew and speak, and they hold space for the adult teeth. Untreated decay can cause pain, infection and crooked adult teeth.
How much toothpaste should my child use?
Under age 3, use a smear of fluoride toothpaste the size of a grain of rice. From age 3 to 6, use a pea-sized amount, and supervise brushing twice a day.
My child is scared of the dentist. Can you help?
Yes. We go slowly, explain each step in simple words and keep the first visits short and positive.
