We recommend that you make an appointment to see the dentist as soon as your child gets his first tooth. The American Academy of <\/span>Pediatric Dentistry <\/span>recommends that a child is seen by six months after his\/her first tooth erupts or by one-year-old, whichever is first.<\/span><\/p>\n

All dental specialists (pediatric dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and others) begin by completing dental school, then continue their education with several years of additional specialized training. During training in the field of <\/span>pediatric dentistry, your doctor gained extensive knowledge and experience in treating infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists enjoy working with children, and bring to each patient our expertise in childhood development and behavior. Because our office is geared toward young visitors, you\u2019ll find that our staff, as well as our office design, decorations and activities, all work together to provide an especially friendly and comfortable environment for children.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The first visit is usually short and simple. In most cases, we focus on getting to know your child and giving you some basic information about dental care. The doctor will check your child\u2019s teeth for placement and health, and will look for any potential problems with the gums and jaw. If necessary, we may do a bit of cleaning. We will also answer any questions you have about how to care for your child\u2019s teeth as they develop, and provide you with materials containing helpful tips that you can refer to at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best preparation for your child\u2019s first visit to our office is maintaining a positive attitude. Children pick up on adults\u2019 apprehensions, and if you make negative comments about trips to the dentist you can be sure that your child will fear an unpleasant experience and act accordingly. Show your child the pictures of the office and staff on the website. Let your child know that it\u2019s important to keep his teeth and gums healthy, and that the doctor will help him do that. Remember that your dentist is specially trained to handle fears and anxiety, and our staff excels at putting children at ease during treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

BABY TEETH AREN’T PERMANENT. WHY DO THEY NEED SPECIAL CARE?<\/p>\n

Although they don\u2019t last as long as permanent teeth, your child\u2019s first teeth play an important role in his development. While they\u2019re in place, these primary teeth help your little one speak, smile and chew properly. They also hold space in the jaw for permanent teeth. If a child loses a tooth too early (due to damage or decay) nearby teeth may encroach on that space, which can result in crooked or misplaced permanent teeth. Also, your child\u2019s general health is affected by the oral health of the teeth and gums.<\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Even before your baby\u2019s first tooth appears, we recommend you clean his gums after feedings with a damp, soft washcloth. As soon as his first tooth appears, you can start using a toothbrush. Choose a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head. You most likely can find a toothbrush designed for infants at your local drugstore.<\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Once your child has a few teeth, you can start using toothpaste on the brush. Use only a tiny amount for each cleaning, and be sure to choose toothpaste without fluoride for children under two, because too much fluoride can be dangerous for very young children. Always have your child rinse and spit out toothpaste after brushing, to begin a lifelong habit he\u2019ll need when he graduates to fluoride toothpaste. Children naturally want to swallow toothpaste after brushing, and swallowing too much fluoride toothpaste can cause teeth to stain. You should brush your child\u2019s teeth for him until he is ready to take on that responsibility himself, which usually happens by age six or seven.<\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Certain types of bacteria live in our mouths. When these bacteria come into contact with sugary foods left behind on our teeth after eating, acids are produced. These acids attack the enamel on the exterior of the teeth, eventually eating through the enamel and creating holes in the teeth, which we call cavities.<\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Be sure that your child brushes his teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Flossing daily is also important, because flossing can reach spots between the teeth that brushing can\u2019t. Check with your pediatric dentist about a fluoride supplement which helps tooth enamel be harder and more resistant to decay. Avoid sugary foods and drinks, limit snacking, and maintain a healthy diet. And finally, make regular appointments so that we can check the health of your child\u2019s teeth and provide professional cleanings.<\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sealants cover the pits and fissures in teeth that are difficult to brush and therefore susceptible to decay. We recommend sealants as a safe, simple way to help your child avoid cavities, especially for molars, which are hardest to reach.<\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The large majority of children suck their thumbs or fingers as infants, and most grow out of it by the age of four, without causing any permanent damage to their teeth. If you child continues sucking after permanent teeth erupt, or sucks aggressively, let us know and we can check to see if any problems may arise from the habit.<\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

we recommend taking X-rays around the age of two or three. The first set consists of simple pictures of the front upper and lower teeth, which familiarizes your child with the process. Once the baby teeth in back are touching one another, then regular (at least yearly) X-rays are recommended. Permanent teeth start coming in around age six, and X-rays help us make sure your child\u2019s teeth and jaw are healthy and properly aligned. If your child is at a high risk of dental problems, we may suggest having X-rays taken at an earlier age.<\/span><\/span><\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Your child\u2019s first visit is usually simple and relaxed. The dentist focuses on getting to know your child, checking their teeth and gums, and sharing basic tips for home care. It\u2019s designed to make your child feel comfortable and build trust from the start.<\/p>\n

Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help catch small issues before they become bigger problems and help your child get used to dental care early on.<\/p>\n

Most children should visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleanings. These visits help keep teeth healthy and allow the dentist to monitor growth and development.<\/p>\n

Baby teeth play a big role in your child\u2019s development. They help with chewing, speaking, and holding space for permanent teeth. Losing them too early can lead to alignment problems and other dental issues later on.<\/p>\n

Good daily habits make a big difference. Encourage your child to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Limiting sugary snacks and drinks, along with regular dental visits, helps keep teeth strong and cavity-free.<\/p>\n

We recommend that you make an appointment to see the dentist as soon as your child gets his first tooth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child is seen by six months after his\/her first tooth erupts or by one-year-old, whichever is first.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”HOW IS A PEDIATRIC DENTIST DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DENTISTS?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

All dental specialists (pediatric dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and others) begin by completing dental school, then continue their education with several years of additional specialized training. During training in the field of pediatric dentistry, your doctor gained extensive knowledge and experience in treating infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists enjoy working with children, and bring to each patient our expertise in childhood development and behavior. Because our office is geared toward young visitors, you\u2019ll find that our staff, as well as our office design, decorations and activities, all work together to provide an especially friendly and comfortable environment for children.<\/p>\n

The first visit is usually short and simple. In most cases, we focus on getting to know your child and giving you some basic information about dental care. The doctor will check your child\u2019s teeth for placement and health, and will look for any potential problems with the gums and jaw. If necessary, we may do a bit of cleaning. We will also answer any questions you have about how to care for your child\u2019s teeth as they develop, and provide you with materials containing helpful tips that you can refer to at home.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”HOW CAN I PREPARE MY CHILD FOR HIS\/HER FIRST DENTAL APPOINTMENT?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

The best preparation for your child\u2019s first visit to our office is maintaining a positive attitude. Children pick up on adults\u2019 apprehensions, and if you make negative comments about trips to the dentist you can be sure that your child will fear an unpleasant experience and act accordingly. Show your child the pictures of the office and staff on the website. Let your child know that it\u2019s important to keep his teeth and gums healthy, and that the doctor will help him do that. Remember that your dentist is specially trained to handle fears and anxiety, and our staff excels at putting children at ease during treatment.<\/p>\n

We generally recommend scheduling checkups every six months. Depending on the circumstances of your child\u2019s oral health, we may recommend more frequent visits.<\/p>\n

Although they don\u2019t last as long as permanent teeth, your child\u2019s first teeth play an important role in his development. While they\u2019re in place, these primary teeth help your little one speak, smile and chew properly. They also hold space in the jaw for permanent teeth. If a child loses a tooth too early (due to damage or decay) nearby teeth may encroach on that space, which can result in crooked or misplaced permanent teeth. Also, your child\u2019s general health is affected by the oral health of the teeth and gums.<\/p>\n

Even before your baby\u2019s first tooth appears, we recommend you clean his gums after feedings with a damp, soft washcloth. As soon as his first tooth appears, you can start using a toothbrush. Choose a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head. You most likely can find a toothbrush designed for infants at your local drugstore.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”AT WHAT AGE IS IT APPROPRIATE TO USE TOOTHPASTE TO CLEAN MY CHILD\u2019S TEETH?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Once your child has a few teeth, you can start using toothpaste on the brush. Use only a tiny amount for each cleaning, and be sure to choose toothpaste without fluoride for children under two, because too much fluoride can be dangerous for very young children. Always have your child rinse and spit out toothpaste after brushing, to begin a lifelong habit he\u2019ll need when he graduates to fluoride toothpaste. Children naturally want to swallow toothpaste after brushing, and swallowing too much fluoride toothpaste can cause teeth to stain. You should brush your child\u2019s teeth for him until he is ready to take on that responsibility himself, which usually happens by age six or seven.<\/p>\n

Certain types of bacteria live in our mouths. When these bacteria come into contact with sugary foods left behind on our teeth after eating, acids are produced. These acids attack the enamel on the exterior of the teeth, eventually eating through the enamel and creating holes in the teeth, which we call cavities.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”HOW CAN I HELP MY CHILD AVOID CAVITIES?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Be sure that your child brushes his teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Flossing daily is also important, because flossing can reach spots between the teeth that brushing can\u2019t. Check with your pediatric dentist about a fluoride supplement which helps tooth enamel be harder and more resistant to decay. Avoid sugary foods and drinks, limit snacking, and maintain a healthy diet. And finally, make regular appointments so that we can check the health of your child\u2019s teeth and provide professional cleanings.<\/p>\n

Sealants cover the pits and fissures in teeth that are difficult to brush and therefore susceptible to decay. We recommend sealants as a safe, simple way to help your child avoid cavities, especially for molars, which are hardest to reach.<\/p>\n

Even children\u2019s sports involve contact, and we recommend mouthguards for children active in sports. If your little one plays baseball, soccer, or other sports, ask us about having a custom-fitted mouthguard made to protect his teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums.<\/p>\n

The large majority of children suck their thumbs or fingers as infants, and most grow out of it by the age of four, without causing any permanent damage to their teeth. If you child continues sucking after permanent teeth erupt, or sucks aggressively, let us know and we can check to see if any problems may arise from the habit.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD HAVE DENTAL X-RAYS TAKEN?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

we recommend taking X-rays around the age of two or three. The first set consists of simple pictures of the front upper and lower teeth, which familiarizes your child with the process. Once the baby teeth in back are touching one another, then regular (at least yearly) X-rays are recommended. Permanent teeth start coming in around age six, and X-rays help us make sure your child\u2019s teeth and jaw are healthy and properly aligned. If your child is at a high risk of dental problems, we may suggest having X-rays taken at an earlier age.<\/p>\n

Your child\u2019s first visit is usually simple and relaxed. The dentist focuses on getting to know your child, checking their teeth and gums, and sharing basic tips for home care. It\u2019s designed to make your child feel comfortable and build trust from the start.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When should I take my child to the dentist for the first time?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help catch small issues before they become bigger problems and help your child get used to dental care early on.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How often should my child visit the dentist?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Most children should visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleanings. These visits help keep teeth healthy and allow the dentist to monitor growth and development.<\/p>\n

Baby teeth play a big role in your child\u2019s development. They help with chewing, speaking, and holding space for permanent teeth. Losing them too early can lead to alignment problems and other dental issues later on.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How can I help my child avoid cavities?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Good daily habits make a big difference. Encourage your child to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Limiting sugary snacks and drinks, along with regular dental visits, helps keep teeth strong and cavity-free.<\/p>\n

BORIS MALESPIN, DDSPEDIATRICdental FAQsBelow are common questions and our answers about the best way to care for children\u2019s teeth. WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY CHILD’S FIRST VISIT TO THE DENTIST?We recommend that you make an appointment to see the dentist as soon as your child gets his first tooth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child is seen by six months after his\/her first tooth erupts or by one-year-old, whichever is first.HOW IS A PEDIATRIC DENTIST DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DENTISTS?All dental specialists (pediatric dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and others) begin by completing dental school, then continue their education with several years of additional specialized training. During training in the field of pediatric dentistry, your doctor gained extensive knowledge and experience in treating infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists enjoy working with children, and bring to each patient our expertise in childhood development and behavior. Because our office is geared toward young visitors, you\u2019ll find that our staff, as well as our office design, decorations and activities, all work together to provide an especially friendly and comfortable environment for children.WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY CHILD’S FIRST VISIT TO THE DENTIST?The first visit is usually short and simple.
