Feel free to call All Kids Dental Pediatrics and Orthodontics at 970-928-9500 if you have any additional questions and schedule a visit with our pediatric dentists.

When should my child have their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling the first dental visit within six months of the eruption of the first baby tooth or by the age of one.

How often should my child visit the dentist?

Regular dental check-ups are important. Most children benefit from visiting the dentist every six months, but your dentist will determine the appropriate frequency based on your child’s individual needs.

What is the importance of baby teeth?

Baby teeth play a vital role in a child’s oral health. They help with chewing, speech development, and serve as placeholders for permanent teeth.

How can I help my child maintain good oral hygiene?

Encourage your child to brush their teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and to floss daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, promote a balanced diet, and establish a routine of regular dental visits.

What are dental sealants and do they benefit my child?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They act as a barrier against decay by sealing out food particles and bacteria. Sealants are highly beneficial in preventing cavities in the deep grooves of these teeth.

Are fluoride treatments necessary for my child?

Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel and protect against tooth decay. Your dentist may recommend fluoride treatments based on your child’s risk of cavities and overall oral health.

How can I help my child overcome dental anxiety?

Create a positive dental experience by using positive language, reading books about dentistry, and explaining procedures in a child-friendly manner. Our team is experienced in working with children and uses relaxation techniques or sedation options if necessary to help them feel more comfortable during their time with us.

What if my child participates in sports?

It is essential for children participating in sports to wear a mouthguard to protect their teeth and jaws from injuries. We can provide custom-made mouthguards for the best fit and protection.

If you have additional questions or concerns about pediatric dentistry, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with our team. We will provide personalized advice and guidance to ensure your child’s oral health and a positive dental experience.
