When should my child have their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help prevent cavities and establish a strong foundation for good oral health.

How often should my child visit the dentist?

Children should visit the dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. Regular visits allow us to monitor your child’s dental development and catch any potential issues early.

What are dental sealants, and does my child need them?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent cavities. They are highly effective for children with deep grooves in their teeth, where food and bacteria often get trapped.

How can I help my child prevent cavities?

To prevent cavities, brush your child’s teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, starting when the first tooth appears. Begin flossing when teeth touch. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and offer healthy alternatives like fruits and cheese. Ask your dentist about dental sealants for added protection.

What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?

If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe pain, contact Rocky Ridge Family Dental immediately at (916) 782-6001. We offer emergency pediatric dental care to address urgent issues quickly.

Why are baby teeth important?

Baby teeth, or primary teeth, play a vital role in your child’s oral health. They help with chewing, speech development, and guide the proper eruption of permanent teeth. Keeping them healthy is essential for overall dental development.

Are X-rays safe for my child?

Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children. We use the latest digital X-ray technology, which emits a very low level of radiation, to ensure your child’s safety while providing detailed images for accurate diagnosis.
