Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
Why is pediatric dentistry important?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the specific dental needs of children, helping prevent common problems like cavities and ensuring proper dental development. Early visits help establish comfort and trust in dental care settings.
At what age should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit a dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears, whichever comes first.
How can I help my child prevent dental problems?
Encourage good oral hygiene by teaching your child to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and ensure they wear mouthguards during sports if necessary.
What should I do if my child is afraid of the dentist?
Choose an Oswego pediatric dentist who is experienced in managing fear and anxiety in children. Gradually familiarize your child with the dental environment and procedures. Discuss your child’s fears with the dentist so they can adapt their approach accordingly.
