When should I take my child to the dentist for the first time?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first.

How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?

Talk to your child positively about the visit, read books about going to the dentist, and avoid using negative words like "pain" or "hurt." Pediatric dentists are trained to make the experience fun and stress-free.

What treatments do pediatric dentists provide?

Pediatric dentists offer preventive care like cleanings and fluoride treatments, cavity fillings, sealants, early orthodontic evaluations, and guidance on oral habits such as thumb-sucking.

Are baby teeth important if they eventually fall out?

Yes, baby teeth play a critical role in guiding the growth of permanent teeth, helping children chew properly, and supporting speech development. Taking care of baby teeth is essential for overall oral health.

How often should my child visit the dentist?

Children should visit the dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. Regular visits help prevent cavities and catch potential issues early.

Do you take NC Medicaid for kids?

Yes — children's dental is well covered by NC Medicaid and we accept new Medicaid families.

My child is terrified of the dentist. Can you help?

Gentle-pace visits, tell-show-do, and nitrous oxide when needed. Many of our happiest patients started out scared.

Can you see all my kids in one visit?

Usually yes — ask for family block scheduling when you book.
