In addition, public water fluoridation across the city affects how we recommend topical fluoride and home fluoride use for infants and children.

Frequently asked questions
When should my child see a dentist for the first time?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by the first birthday or when the first tooth appears. We explain timing, exam steps and ways caregivers can prepare on our First Dental Visit resource.
Are dental x rays safe for children?
We use modern digital imaging that minimizes exposure and only take x rays when they are clinically necessary to evaluate tooth development or identify decay not visible on exam. We follow accepted safety practices for pediatric imaging.
How do sealants and fluoride help prevent cavities?
Sealants are a protective coating placed on chewing surfaces of permanent molars to prevent decay. Topical fluoride, including varnish, strengthens enamel. Both are preventive tools we recommend based on a child s risk and development stage.
Do you treat children with special needs?
Yes. Our team has experience working with children who have developmental or behavioral needs. We focus on creating a calm, predictable experience, and we coordinate with caregivers and medical providers as needed.
How often should my child have checkups and cleanings?
Checkup frequency depends on cavity risk and oral health. Many children benefit from twice yearly visits, while others with higher risk may need more frequent preventive appointments. We set a plan that fits each child s needs.
