Welcome to Acing Smiles Family Dental
Pediatric Treatment
Good oral hygiene habits — and care — start early. That’s why our pediatric dentists see children starting in infancy and throughout adolescence to help prevent tooth decay and cavities through routine dental care.
And should your child need treatment for an injury or orthodontics (braces), our specially trained dentists have extensive experience in treating children.
When should your child see a pediatric dentist?
Because primary teeth typically start to come in around 6 months of age, your child should start seeing a pediatric dentist by age 1 or within 6 months after their first tooth erupts.
Even if your child seems too young or doesn’t have many teeth, We can help teach you the proper techniques to keep their smile healthy for years to come.
🗓️How to prepare your child for their first appointment
If your child is 6 months old, he or she may not feel nervous about visiting the dentist just yet. But if your little one is older, having anxiety about the visit is completely normal. Here’s how you can prepare your child for their visit:
- Talk to your child about what to expect; find child-friendly books or online resources to help guide your conversation.
- Try to avoid scheduling your child’s appointment during their usual naptime
- Make sure you plan extra time for your child’s appointment. This way, they aren’t rushed and are more likely to feel at ease.
