Frequently Asked Questions

How do I handle a knocked-out or broken tooth in my child? 


Find the tooth, rinse gently with milk or saline, keep it moist, and see a dentist immediately. For a broken tooth, schedule an emergency appointment. 

What should I do if my child has a toothache? 


Rinse the mouth with warm water, use a cold compress for swelling, and give age-appropriate pain relief. Seek prompt dental care to identify and treat the cause. 

How can I prevent cavities in my child's teeth? 


Maintain good oral hygiene, limit sugary foods and drinks, ensure regular dental visits, and use fluoride treatments or sealants as suggested. 

What are dental sealants, and are they necessary for my child? 


Sealants are protective coatings applied to chewing surfaces of molars to prevent cavities. They are highly recommended for children after molars erupt. 

How often should my child see the dentist? 


Routine checkups are recommended every six months, or as advised by your child's dentist, especially if they have specific dental issues. 

When should my child start flossing? 


Flossing should begin once two teeth touch, usually around age 2-3, and parents should assist until the child develops fine motor skills to do it independently. 

How can I make my child's first dental visit a positive experience? 


Keep it light, fun, and relaxed. Use positive language, bring their favorite toy or blanket, and avoid framing the visit as a punishment or a stressful event. 

What is fluoridated toothpaste, and is it safe for young children? 

Fluoride toothpaste helps strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. For children under age 3, use a smear or rice-sized amount; it’s safe and beneficial when used in appropriate amounts. 

How early should I start brushing my baby’s teeth? 


Begin brushing your baby's teeth as soon as the first tooth appears, using a soft-bristled brush and a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste. 

When should my child's first dental visit be scheduled?

The first dental visit should be around the age of 1 year or when the first tooth erupts. Early visits help monitor oral health, provide guidance, and set the stage for good lifelong habits.
