FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should I bring my child to the dentist for the first time?
It is recommended to bring your child for their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth eruption. Early dental visits help us monitor your child’s oral health, provide preventive care, and establish a dental home for future visits.
How often should my child have dental check-ups?
We recommend regular dental check-ups every six months for most children. However, the frequency of visits may vary depending on your child’s oral health needs. Our dental team will assess your child’s situation and provide personalized recommendations.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children. We take necessary precautions to minimize radiation exposure. Dental X-rays provide valuable information about your child’s oral health, allowing us to identify hidden cavities, monitor tooth development, and assess any potential orthodontic concerns.
How can I help my child with dental anxiety?
Dental anxiety is common among children, and we understand the importance of creating a positive and supportive environment. Our team is trained to help children feel comfortable and relaxed during their dental visits. We use gentle techniques, explain procedures in a child-friendly manner, and offer distraction techniques such as movies or music to reduce anxiety.
Can parents accompany their child during dental appointments?
Absolutely! We encourage parents to accompany their child during their dental visits. We believe that parental presence can provide comfort and support for children, especially during their first few visits. However, we may request parents to stay in the waiting area for certain procedures to allow our team to establish trust and maintain a calm environment.

Our team has received specialized training in dealing with the unique oral health needs and behavioural aspects of young patients. We create a kid-friendly environment to ensure a positive and comfortable dental experience for children.
Do you accept insurance plans?
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans. Our team will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses. Please bring your insurance information to your child’s appointment, and we will assist you with the billing process.
What are your payment options for services not covered by insurance?
