Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at 912-264-0946 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears—whichever comes first. Early visits help prevent cavities and build good oral habits.
Children should visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleanings to prevent cavities and detect any potential issues early.
A typical visit includes:
- A gentle exam of teeth, gums, and jaw development
- Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
- Fluoride treatment (if needed) for cavity prevention
- Fun, kid-friendly education on brushing and flossing
- Talk positively about the visit and avoid using words like "pain" or "shot."
- Read books or watch videos about going to the dentist.
- Play pretend dentist at home to make them comfortable with the idea.
- Arrive early to allow your child time to adjust to the new environment.
Yes! Fluoride is a safe and effective way to strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay. Your dentist will recommend the appropriate amount based on your child’s age and risk for cavities.
- Under age 3: Use a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.
- Ages 3-6: Use a pea-sized amount.
- Always supervise brushing to prevent swallowing too much toothpaste.
