What to Expect at Your Child's First Visit

Radiographs (X-rays)

Radiographs, or x-rays, help dentists see areas of the mouth that are not visible to the naked eye; such as the bone and area below the gum line, inside teeth, and corners that are difficult to see around. Viewing the mouth with a greater perspective helps diagnose problems such as tooth decay, abscess, missing teeth, extra teeth, just to name a few.

Dental Cleaning

One of our dental assistants will help your child settle into their dental chair, start a movie (the screen is on the ceiling), and begin their dental cleaning. During the cleaning, the assistant will use a special toothbrush, called a “prophy cup” to clean their teeth. The cleaning will remove any plaque and polish the surface. The cleaning aims to promote and teach great oral hygiene and prevent cavities.
If the crown is unstable or cracked, schedule an appointment to get it replaced as soon as possible. Food and bacteria trapped underneath a cracked or wiggly crown can cause further decay, leading to abscess.

Dental Exam

During your child’s dental exam, the dentist assesses the health of your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth. He will check for signs of decay or damage, check the gums for signs of inflammation and disease, and look for any abnormalities in the mouth or throat. After the dentist has examined your child’s mouth and teeth, he’ll discuss treatment plans if further treatment is needed. This could include scheduling a follow-up appointment to fill cavities, place crowns, and more.

If the crown is unstable or cracked, schedule an appointment to get it replaced as soon as possible. Food and bacteria trapped underneath a cracked or wiggly crown can cause further decay, leading to abscess.

Fluoride Treatment

After the cleaning, x-rays, and exam, we’ll apply a flouride treatment to your child’s teeth. This specialized fluoride is only “painted” onto the teeth once every six months. To allow the sticky fluoride to work as best as it can your child won’t need to brush their teeth that night, but will need to brush it off the following morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child see the dentist for the first time?

We recommend a first visit by age one or 6 months after their first tooth erupts.

How often should I take my child to the dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends being seen by your dentist every 6 months. These 6-month increments are especially important for children.

Benefits of Fluoride

Fluoride is a mineral that is naturally found in many foods and water. It reduces the growth of plaque and bacteria as well as strengthens tooth enamel.

How safe are dental x-rays?

With modern technology, wearing thyroid-blocking aprons, and safe x-ray-taking practices, it’s never been safer to have dental radiographs taken.

Does my child have a cavity?

Typically, cavities may have little to no symptoms. If your child has a toothache it’s possible that the cavity has made its way into the nerve and may require an extraction or a pulpotomy. Occasionally, a patient will feel tooth sensitivity to cold or heat, sensitivity while chewing, or spontaneous pain that occurs for no apparent reason.  Visit our blog to learn more about diagnosing cavities.
