Baby’s First Visit
The first dental visit is a milestone in your baby’s life. This appointment, recommended within six months of the first tooth appearing or by your child’s first birthday, helps establish a dental home for your child.
It’s a gentle introduction to dental care, allowing us to assess your baby’s oral health and discuss proper oral hygiene practices. This initial visit can set the stage for a positive relationship with dentistry, helping your child feel more comfortable with future dental care.
Children & Teen Appointments
As your child grows, so do their dental needs. Regular dental appointments for children and teens are crucial to monitor changes in oral health, catch potential issues early, and guide them on the path to lifelong dental health.
We provide thorough cleanings, exams, and education on brushing and flossing techniques. Our fun goody bags and prizes turn each visit into an exciting experience, promoting a positive attitude towards dental health.
Adult Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings are just as essential for adults as they are for kids. These biannual cleanings help keep your teeth and gums healthy, prevent the onset of dental diseases, and can even detect early signs of other health issues.
Each cleaning includes removing plaque and tartar build-up, polishing teeth, and a thorough dental exam.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I keep my child's teeth healthy all year long?
Consistent oral hygiene practices like brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and maintaining a balanced diet can help keep your child’s teeth healthy. Regular dental check-ups are also essential for professional cleanings and early problem detection.
What kind of toothpaste is suitable for my child?
We recommend getting personalized recommendations for your child. However, in general, for children under 3, use a smear of fluoride toothpaste no larger than a grain of rice. For children aged 3 to 6, use a pea-sized amount. Make sure your child spits out the toothpaste after brushing to prevent swallowing too much fluoride.
Do you provide dental cleanings and exams for special needs children?
Absolutely. At Sweet Tooth, we’re committed to providing high-quality dental care for all children, including those with special needs. We accommodate different needs and ensure a comfortable visit for every child.
How can I prepare my child for their dental visit?
Start by describing what will happen in simple terms, avoiding any negative words. Encourage them by explaining that the dentist will help keep their teeth strong and healthy. Reading books about dental visits or playing pretend dental visits can also help.
