Frequently Asked Questions
At What Age Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help establish comfort, monitor development, and support preventive care from the start.
How Often Should Children Have Dental Checkups?
Most children benefit from dental checkups and cleanings every six months. Regular visits allow us to monitor oral development, prevent cavities, and reinforce healthy brushing and flossing habits.

Our clinic uses a gentle, child-centered approach with clear, age-appropriate explanations. For children who need extra support, minimal sedation with nitrous oxide may be available to help them feel calm and comfortable during treatment.
