Pediatric Dentistry FAQ

Have questions about pediatric dentistry? Here are answers to common questions about caring for baby teeth, preventing tooth decay, and more.

What is pediatric dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is a specialized field focused on the oral health care of children from infancy to adolescence. It addresses the unique needs of baby teeth, growing teeth, and gums, and provides both preventive and therapeutic care. Pediatric dentists, like Dr. Yasmin Tontat, create a friendly, supportive environment that helps kids feel comfortable and safe.

When should I first bring my child to see a pediatric dentist?

Your child’s first dental exam should be by the age of 12 months or within six months of their first tooth. These early visits help monitor the development of teeth and gums, ensuring that any issues, such as tooth decay, are caught early.

How can I help my child prevent tooth decay?

Preventing tooth decay begins with good habits. Use a smear of fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice) for children under 3 years old. For older kids, use a pea-sized amount. Encourage brushing twice a day for two minutes, making sure they clean their teeth and gums thoroughly. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and schedule regular pediatric dental check-ups.

What should I do if my child is anxious about visiting the dentist?

It’s normal for kids to feel anxious about the dentist. Pediatric dentists like Dr. Tontat use fun, calming techniques to ease anxiety, including child-friendly explanations, storytelling, and letting kids handle dental instruments to reduce fear. We aim to make visits enjoyable so children look forward to their next dental exam.
