FAQs About Pediatric Dentistry
At Smile Cove Pediatric Dental, we want to do everything we can to instill good dental hygiene habits in every child who visits our office. This includes helping parents understand what steps to take for their children’s dental health, how to set good brushing and flossing habits, and easing anxieties about visiting the dentist in general. Below, we’ll go over a few frequently asked questions so that you and your child can feel more comfortable at your next check-up.
Hidden
Why do children need to see a dentist before their permanent teeth come in?
Although your child will lose their baby teeth before their adult teeth grow in, the baby teeth need to be aligned properly for eating and speaking. Misaligned baby teeth can impede a child’s ability to talk clearly, and poor dental hygiene can impact their self-esteem. Visiting a pediatric dentist will help ensure that your child’s oral health is on the right track before their baby teeth fall out.
Should I consider sedation dentistry for my child?
Kids with severe dental anxiety may be able to relax and feel more comfortable at their dental appointment with one of our sedation options. We’re proud to offer three different types of sedation for you to consider, and you can always speak with our staff to determine which one will work best for your child.
What sets your pediatric dentist office apart?
We strive to create a friendly, welcoming environment for every child who visits us. We understand that going to the dentist can be overwhelming and scary for many kids, including those with special needs, and we have qualifications and skills that other dentists may not have. By turning to us, you can rest easy knowing that we have your child’s best interests at heart and will do everything we can to ensure they’ll have a positive experience with us.
