Frequently Asked Questions

Are baby teeth really that important?

Yes, baby teeth act as placeholders for adult teeth and play an important role in speech and chewing. Leaving problems untreated can lead to pain, infection, and longer-term issues with alignment.

How often should my child see a dentist?

We generally recommend a check-up every six months, even if nothing seems to be wrong, so we can catch any issues early.

What if my child is nervous about visiting the dentist?

We’re experienced in helping nervous children feel at ease, using a calm approach and explaining each step so nothing feels sudden or overwhelming.
