FAQs
Clear answers for your dental journey.
Can a cavity go away?
No, unfortunately a cavity cannot go away on its own. If left untreated, it can get larger and lead to more serious dental problems. It is important to get cavities filled as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tooth.
How can I help my child overcome fear or anxiety about going to the dentist?
You can help your child overcome fear or anxiety about going to the dentist by talking to them about what to expect, using positive language, and reinforcing good oral hygiene practices at home. Watching videos or reading children’s books about visiting the dentist can be helpful too.
How often should my child go to the dentist for a check-up?
It is generally recommended that children go to the dentist for a check-up every six month. However, your child’s dentist may recommend a different schedule based on their individual needs.
What should I expect during my child’s first dental appointment?
During your child's first dental appointment, the dentist will examine their teeth, gums, and mouth, and may take X-rays if necessary. The dentist will also talk to you about oral hygiene, tooth brushing, and answer any questions you may have.
How can I prepare my child for their first dentist appointment?
To prepare your child for their first dental appointment, it can be helpful to read books or watch videos about going to the dentist, talk to them about what to expect, and reassure them that it will be a positive experience.
When should I start using toothpaste on my child’s teeth?
You can start using a small smear of fluoride toothpaste on a soft bristled brush to clean your child’s teeth as soon as they appear. There are specific toothpastes for younger children (usually for 0-3 years of age) available at the supermarket and pharmacy.
Is thumb sucking bad for my children’s teeth?
Thumb sucking can also cause dental problems, including misaligned teeth and jaw development issues. If the habit persists beyond age 4, it may be time to intervene and help your child break the habit. Talk to your dentist for further tips and information.
Is dummy sucking bad for my child’s teeth?
Dummy sucking can cause teeth misalignment and other dental problems if it persists beyond a certain age. It is recommended that children stop using dummies by the age of 2 to avoid these issues. Talk to your dentist for further tips and information.
