FAQ's
Why Choose Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists specialize in treating children, from infants to adolescents, including those with special health needs. They undergo two to three years of specialized training after dental school and exclusively treat children.
When to Take Child to Dentist for the First Time?
Take your child to a pediatric dentist when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday to avoid dental issues.
Frequency of Pediatric Dental Visits?
It's advised to visit a pediatric dentist every six months to prevent cavities and other issues. The dentist will adjust the frequency based on your child's specific oral health.
Are Thumbsucking and Pacifier Use Detrimental to Teeth?
Thumbsucking and pacifier use typically aren't problematic unless they persist well beyond age three. If the habit continues, a pediatric dentist might recommend a mouth appliance.
