Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Services


At what age should a child begin seeing a pediatric dentist?


Children should begin seeing a dentist around their first birthday, or when their first tooth erupts—whichever comes first. These early visits aren’t just important for your child’s dental health, but also for helping them feel safe and comfortable at our office.


Should kids go to a pediatric dentist?


Bringing your child to a pediatric dentist is a great choice for them! Pediatric dentists have additional education and training in the unique needs of pediatric patients, and our offices are specially designed to be kid-friendly.


Is a family dentist the same as a pediatric dentist?


A family dentist typically hasn’t had the additional two to three years of education in pediatric dentistry that pediatric dentists have. Not all dentists who treat children are specialists in pediatric dentistry.


How often should a child go to the dentist?


Children should see the dentist every six months for comprehensive oral evaluations and dental cleanings.


Is it safe to sedate kids for dental work?


Dental sedation for kids is safe, and in most cases only a mild sedative like nitrous oxide is needed. Our team is highly trained in the safe administration of dental sedation.
