Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child have their first dental visit?
By their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. Early visits help us spot problems early and help your child get comfortable at the dentist.
How often should my child have a dental checkup?
Most children should have a checkup and cleaning every six months. We may suggest a different schedule based on your child’s needs.
What can I do to help prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?
Help your child brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss once teeth touch, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and keep up with regular checkups. Sealants and fluoride treatments add extra protection.
Will my insurance cover pediatric dental care?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive care such as exams and cleanings, and many help with other treatment too. Coverage varies by plan, so our team will review your benefits with you. See payment options for more.
