  • Why See A Pediatric Dentist

    I often hear adults’ comment about how much they hate the dentist due to a previous childhood traumatic experience. This is primarily the reason why almost all children should visit a pediatric dentist, instead of a general dentist. As a pediatric dentist, our job is to create a positive...

  • How can I prevent tooth decay?

    Diet and Oral Hygiene are the two most important factors. Having a reduced or sugar and carbohydrate free diet will decrease the amount of bacteria that break down your teeth. Limiting soda, juices, sports drinks,, coffee, tea and wine will help decreases the acidity that breaks down enamel. For oral hygiene, we recommend brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste twice a day. We also recommend flossing once a day. READ MORE

  • Can you swallow your dentures in your sleep?

    Anything in life is a possibility! We always recommend you take your dentures out when you sleep to prevent this, but also to give your tissues a break. It is the same as wearing your shoes everyday and not taking them off when you go to sleep. Make sure to brush your dentures every night just like you would your normal teeth. After brushing you can leave your dentures in a cup with denture cleanser to clean over night. READ MORE

  • How to lessen a child's fear of the dentist?

    Have you seen a pediatric dentist?? We are specially trained to help your son overcome his dental phobia. Having this fear is very common and something we deal with every day. Our offices are designed to be a fun and colorful environment so that every child enjoys their dental visit. To start, I would recommend that are you doing a good job on his oral home care by helping brush his teeth twice a day and flossing. READ MORE

  • How to ease a child's nerves before the dentist?

    As a pediatric dentist, this is why we are here to help! Communication is key. At our first visit, we would try to ask questions to figure our the root of the dental phobia. Once determined, we utilize our additional training to help that child become more comfortable. If there is a certain smell the child does not like, there are other ways we maneuver through the appointment without triggering the "smell" READ MORE

  • How should I deal with the pain of a wisdom tooth?

    When was the last time you saw your dentist?? I would recommend visiting them so they can evaluate you radiographically and clinically. Evolutionarily, wisdom teeth do not serve a purpose and only cause more problems as we age. Most children are recommended to have their wisdom teeth removed at an early age to avoid any issues in the future READ MORE

  • What age should a child start having dental cleanings?

    This is a fantastic question. We recommend you visit the dentist at the age of 1, or six months after you see their first tooth. Even if your child does not have any cavities, it is important to get your child use to the dental environment. Your dentist is also a great asset for tips and tricks on how to help your child develop a proper oral hygiene routine. READ MORE
