At what age should a child go to the dentist?

Your child should be taken to the dentist when their first tooth emerges, which is usually at around 6 months of age, or before their first birthday. Taking your kids to the dentist as early as needed helps them adjust better to future dental visits. Eventually it will be just another part of their life.

How do dentists treat children?

Dentists are extra careful and fun with children. When a child is comfortable during their visit, they are more willing to go along with the procedure and listen to the dentist. Dr. Kim is very patient with children, especially if they have dental anxiety. He builds trust with kids by being fun and answering their questions until they are ready for the treatment.

Is it important for kids to go to the dentist?

It is very important for kids to go to the dentist because they are more prone to developing cavities. Professional monitoring of their growing teeth also reduces the need for teeth straightening down the road.  

What is preventative cavity treatment for kids?

Dental sealants are the most common cavity prevention treatment for kids. Since they are unable to properly brush or floss their teeth at a young age, sealants are recommended. Fluoride treatments and regular dental cleanings are also highly effective in keeping your kid’s teeth strong and healthy.

How do I talk to my child about the dentist?

For smaller children, you can talk about the dentist as a teeth doctor. Preventing dental anxiety starts at home. Brushing your kid’s teeth helps them get used to the idea of another person caring for their teeth. Before the dental appointment, let your kid know that the teeth doctor will be counting, brushing and taking pictures of their teeth. This way, they know what to expect and won’t get scared.

What happens if you don’t treat kids’ cavities?

Cavities on baby teeth should still be taken seriously. They spread faster than in permanent teeth, and can lead to infections if left untreated.
