Frequently Asked Questions

Unlocking the mysteries of children’s dentistry! Explore our comprehensive FAQ section to find answers to all your questions – from first visits and preventative care to common concerns and treatment options.

At what age should my child first see a dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by your child’s first birthday, or when their first tooth erupts. This early visit allows us to assess your child’s oral development and establish a positive foundation for future dental care.

What can I expect during my child's first dental visit?

The first visit is typically focused on getting your child comfortable with the dental environment. We’ll gently examine your child’s mouth, answer any questions you have, and offer guidance on oral hygiene practices.

How often should my child have dental checkups?

Regular checkups are essential for maintaining good oral health. We recommend scheduling appointments for your child every six months, or as recommended by your dentist based on your child’s individual needs.

Why is preventative care important for children's teeth?

Early intervention is key! Preventative care helps identify and address potential problems early on, preventing cavities, bite issues, and future complications. It also sets the stage for good oral hygiene habits throughout your child’s life.

What happens if my child has a cavity?

If your child develops a cavity, our dentists will use gentle methods and explain the treatment process clearly. We offer various options to restore the tooth and prevent further decay.

How can I teach my child proper brushing and flossing techniques?

We can provide age-appropriate tools and instructions to help your child develop good oral hygiene habits. We’ll also offer tips and tricks to make brushing and flossing a fun and engaging experience for your child.

What happens if my child has a dental emergency?

Contact our office immediately if your child experiences a dental emergency like a chipped tooth or a toothache. We’ll prioritize your child’s care and provide prompt treatment options.

What should I do if my child is afraid of the dentist?

We understand that some children may feel anxious about dental visits. Our team is experienced in working with young patients and uses gentle techniques to create a positive and calming experience. Let us know about your child’s anxieties beforehand, and we’ll tailor the visit accordingly.

Does your office offer sedation dentistry for children?

In some cases, sedation dentistry can be an option for children with severe anxiety. We will discuss all available options with you during your consultation to determine the best approach for your child’s needs.

What does children's dentistry cost?

The cost of children’s dental services can vary depending on the specific treatment needed and your insurance coverage. We’ll provide a transparent cost estimate during your consultation to help you plan accordingly.

My first visit at Premier Dental Associates Inc, in one word was "AMAZING". Starting from my appointment confirmation, to the warm inviting greeting of the team, to the Dental Technicians professional care and finally to my doctor. The wholistic consultation for my problem to providing me with various solutions was very enlightening. The best part, was feeling confident in knowing I am being provided with quality service from a team that looks at providing me with Quality Results. Thank you so much.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Rita for the past 9 years - everything from general teeth cleanings to most recently my Invisalign treatment! Her knowledge and care has made such a difference in both my life and my smile. 🙂 The staff is a true highlight of this office & always make me feel so welcomed and cared for. Everyone from Cindy and Erica at the front desk, to all of the wonderful hygienists who have worked on me over the years. I can’t imagine doing anywhere else for all my dental needs.
