Children’s Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: At What Age Should My Child First See the Dentist?
A: You should bring your child to the dentist shortly after the first tooth erupts. If you have questions or concerns before then, we’re happy to see your little one early.
Q: Why Are Baby Teeth Important?
A: Baby teeth hold spaces for adult teeth. When they are lost too soon, adult teeth can erupt incorrectly. Baby teeth also help your child’s development, including speech and chewing.
Q: How Often Should My Child See the Dentist?
A: Typically, your child will visit their Roseville dentist every six months. However, this schedule may vary based on your child’s oral health profile. Preventative dentistry is the hallmark of healthy teeth!
Q: Will You Treat My Child’s Dental Emergency?
A: Absolutely! We are always here for your family in the event of a dental emergency in Roseville.
Q: My Child Doesn’t Like to Brush. Can You help?
A: Our team can offer practical advice on at-home oral care, pacifier use, thumb sucking, and so much more. For fussy brushes, try making it a game. Set a timer or play a two-minute song. You can also use a reward system. Small stickers or prizes can make all the difference.
Q: Does My Child Need Braces?
A: Your child’s dentist continuously monitors their oral development and will talk to you if they need early intervention or orthodontics.
Q: Do You Offer Bulk Billing?
A: Bulk billing may be available. Talk to a team member for details.
