Q. What's the appropriate age to take your child to the dentist? And how often? Is a yearly checkup enough?
Thanks.
Thanks.
A. I recommend that the child come see me as soon as he has four teeth. This visit is mainly to help mom understand how to take care of baby's teeth and catch any cavities when they are small.
I see mainly children in my practice and you would not believe how many teeth I have to extract from 2 and 3 year olds simply because nobody ever taught mom how to take care of her baby's teeth. By the time they come to my office at 2 or 3 years old it is often too late for me to save the teeth. Honestly, it makes me sad and a llittle sick every time I have to do that, but it's what has to be done.

What type of dentist should one go to if he wants to be out during dental surgery.?
Q. When I was a child my dentist pulled my tooth when it wasn't numb, for some strange reason I think thats going to happen again. So, now I would just rather be completely out.
A. An oral surgeon is trained, and has (should) an office equipped for using anesthesia. Let the dentist know that you want to be asleep. If you don't have one in mind, ask family, friends or coworkers for a recommendation. It is not a good idea to just choose a name out of the phone book. It will be ok!
What age did you first get your childs teeth cleaned at the dentist?Does the dentist have a special toothpaste?
Q. Does the dentist use a special toothpaste or something without fluoride in case the child swallows it?
I just basically need to know when I should take my child to the dentist - at what age. And how old was your child when they first went and how did they react?

A. 3.
If the child swallows some toothpaste during a cleaning, it's not the end of the world. The problem occurs if the child does it on a regular basis, or frequently snacks on toothpaste.
Most cities have fluoridated water that your child most likely swallows in some form or another on a more regular basis.
