We can monitor your child’s dental health and create a preventive plan based on their needs.

Family Dentistry FAQs
Our office can take care of the oral health of each one of your family members. Read the answers to these commonly asked questions to learn more.
How soon should I bring my child in for their first dental visit?
The American Dental Association recommends that parents take their children to the dentist for their first checkup when their first tooth comes in. Your local dentists also back this recommendation. Even if your child is not showing dental concerns and has no signs of unhealthy teeth, it’s important to start visiting the dentist routinely to foster a healthy patient-dentist relationship.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
Toothaches can be a symptom of many different oral health issues. Many patients treat tooth pain at home with over-the-counter medications such as Orajel. Unfortunately, you are just masking the pain and allowing the underlying issue to develop into a more serious problem. It’s best to call your dentist and ask about your tooth pain or visit as soon as possible.
Why does my dental restoration not fit like it used to?
Dental restorations like fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures do not usually last a lifetime without causing issues at some point. Your mouth changes over time, but your restorations do not adjust. Ill-fitting dentures, bridges that are causing new pain, and other issues should be evaluated by your dentist as soon as you notice them. Usually, a quick adjustment by your dentist can fix your issue.
What’s the difference between a family dentist and a pediatric dentist?
A family dentist trains to take care of people of all ages. We can treat every member of your family, no matter how old they are. A pediatric dentist takes on extra training specifically to take care of children. They focus solely on child patients and don’t usually treat older patients.
How often do I have to visit the dentist?
Both children and adults should visit the dentist at least every six months. Regular dental visits are essential to maintaining proper oral health and development. We clean areas of the teeth you may not be able to access on your own. Dentists are trained to notice oral problems in their earliest stages and have diagnostic tools. We can catch issues in your mouth early, making treatment less intensive and more affordable.
Why do primary teeth need care when they’re only temporary?
Primary teeth require just as much care as regular teeth. Though temporary, they help children develop skills to speak and eat. They also serve as placeholders for your permanent teeth to come in properly. Taking care of your primary teeth helps protect the development of your permanent smile.
