Question 1

When should my child first visit the dentist?

Accepted Answer

We usually recommend scheduling your child's first pediatric dental visit as soon as their baby teeth begin to appear. This allows us to prevent any cavities from forming and talk with you about how to care for your child's teeth.

Question 2

How often should my child visit the dentist?

Accepted Answer

We recommend that most children visit the dentist every six months. We may recommend coming in every three months if we discover your child is more prone to cavities.

Question 3

When and how should I start cleaning my child's teeth?

Accepted Answer

You should start brushing your child's teeth as soon as they start to appear. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste your child likes and turn toothbrushing into a fun game! You can both take turns role-playing as a dentist, brushing the front, back, sides, and top of the teeth in a circular motion.

Question 4

Why are baby teeth important?

Accepted Answer

The baby teeth serve as spacers for the adult teeth. Children who have severe damage to their baby teeth are more likely to damage their permanent teeth as well. Early loss of baby teeth may cause loss of space for permanent teeth, causing orthodontic problems later on.

Question 5

What kind of toothbrush should kids use?

Accepted Answer

At Children's Dental FunZone, we recommend you get a soft-bristle brush with a small head for cleaning your infant's teeth. As your child grows, switch to a toothbrush with a slightly larger head.

Question 6

When should children start flossing?

Accepted Answer

If there is little or no space between your child's teeth, this is usually a sign that you should be helping them floss. Flossing is less necessary if there is a lot of space between a child's teeth.

Question 7

Are X-rays safe for children?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Today's X-ray technology uses only 25% of the radiation when compared to earlier generations. Therefore, dental X-rays are considered incredibly safe for your child. If you ever have any questions about your child's safety during their checkup, don't hesitate to ask.

Question 8

What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a family dentist?

Accepted Answer

Family dentists can provide excellent general care for patients of all ages, but our pediatric dentists specialize in assessing the needs of infants and children. We monitor kids to ensure healthy oral formation while also keeping them comfortable, safe, and at ease during their visit.

Question 9

How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of orthodontic care can vary greatly, depending on the patient's needs. We can provide a personalized estimate during your child's appointment. Additionally, we can talk to you about financing and insurance assistance as needed.

Question 10

Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?

Accepted Answer

Some insurance policies will cover orthodontic care, at least partly, and some will not. It depends on your specific insurance, but we are always happy to talk with you about the best ways to maximize your reimbursement.
