What Questions Should I Ask When Looking for Children’s Dental Care?

Children's Dental Care in Payson UT Area

Most adults aren’t exactly excited about going to the dentist. Nevertheless, regular dental visits are a must for healthy oral care. However, it’s not only adults who need reliable care. When your child needs a regular dental checkup or has a dental problem, you need to have dedicated Children’s Dental Care in Payson, UT. If you’re a parent, you probably already know that there are some crucial questions you need to ask before selecting a dentist for your child.

When Should My Child First Go to the Dentist?

Every baby is born with two sets of teeth: baby teeth and permanent teeth.

There’s a common misconception that baby teeth are unimportant because they’re going to fall out eventually. However, that’s a myth. Your child’s primary teeth play a crucial role in their overall healthy oral development. In fact, baby teeth serve the following purposes.

  • Proper speech development
  • Chewing and digestion
  • Placeholder for permanent teeth

Moreover, decayed teeth can create embarrassment in older children, and that can have a profound effect on your child’s self-confidence.

By the time your child is two years old, they should have their first dental visit. The purpose of the first few visits is to help your child become accustomed to the sights, sounds, and smells inside a dentist’s office. Your child’s dental team will also gather a baseline evaluation of your child’s oral health.

What Type of Dentist Do You Have on Staff?

A family dentist is equipped to handle your entire family’s dental care. However, a dedicated pediatric dentist will have two additional years of specialized training. Also, many are board-certified by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

How Do You Address Dental Fear in Children?

When you’re interviewing dental offices, ask them how they handle a child’s dental fear or trauma. An experienced pediatric dentist will have plans and processes to address these unique needs in children who are afraid or traumatized by negative past experiences.
