- 13. What happens if I miss or cancel the appointment? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 13. What happens if I miss or cancel the appointment? Cancellation Policy We require at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel a regular appointment. Cancellations made within less than 24 hours of the scheduled time will incur a $25 fee. This fee must be paid in full before your appointment can be rescheduled. The reason for the fee is that last-minute cancellations prevent us from offering that time slot to other patients. Cancellations for sedation appointments are $50 fee if made within less than 24 hours of the scheduled time (see below under Sedation & Safety #10). <<< Previous Next >>>
- 35. What is a lip tie? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 35. What is a lip tie? Lip Ties A lip tie happens when the thin piece of tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums (called the labial frenulum) is too tight or restrictive. This can make it harder for a baby to latch properly during breastfeeding, affect speech, or even create gaps between the front teeth as your child grows. Lip ties can vary in severity — some are mild and don’t cause problems, while others may need treatment to improve feeding, oral function, or dental health. Our team evaluates each child individually to determine whether a procedure, called a frenectomy, is needed. <<< Previous Next >>>

- 42. Does my child need a tooth pulled? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 42. Does my child need a tooth pulled? Teeth Pulling Yes — pediatric dentists can and do pull teeth, but it depends on the situation. Our goal is always to preserve teeth whenever possible, especially baby teeth, because they play a key role in chewing, speaking, and guiding adult teeth into the correct position. We may recommend extraction in situations such as: -Severe decay or infection that can’t be repaired with fillings or crowns -Crowding issues where a baby tooth needs to come out early to allow adult teeth to come in properly -Loose or damaged teeth from injury or trauma -Extra teeth (supernumerary teeth) that may interfere with normal dental development Our team is trained to make extractions as gentle and comfortable as possible, often using local anesthesia, sedation, or other calming techniques depending on the child’s age and anxiety level. We also provide guidance for aftercare to ensure proper healing and reduce discomfort. <<< Previous Next >>>

This allows for early diagnosis of any problems so that they are easier and less expensive to address. During the exam, your child’s pediatric dentist will carefully check the health and development of your child’s teeth and gums. X-rays may be necessary as they make it easier for the pediatric dentist to spot decay and make sure teeth are coming in properly. Our digital X-rays require less radiation and make it possible for you and your child to see what’s going in their mouth. The dentist will gently probe your child’s gums for disease or places where disease could develop. If any problems are found, your pediatric dentist will explain what’s happening in easy-to-understand terms and discuss ways to treat it. Professional cleaning is very important. Even if your child is brushing and flossing daily at home, it’s hard for them to remove all food particles and bacteria that allow plaque to build up on your child’s teeth. Plaque can cause cavities and gum disease. You child may also have a fluoride treatment and/or sealants to help prevent tooth decay. Sealants Sealants are a very popular, painless way to help keep your child cavity free. They are applied to back molars after a child has had a cleaning and exam, where four out of five cavities in children are found. A sealant is a plastic material that is painted onto the chewing surface of the tooth to act as a barrier for food, plaque and acid that causes decay. Sealants are practically invisible because they are clear, white or slightly tinted to exactly match your child’s teeth. Even better, they take only a few minutes to apply, during one office visit, and they can protect your child throughout their cavity-prone years. Applying sealants is a comfortable procedure. The teeth are cleaned and prepped, and the sealant is painted on and hardened with a special light. Your child can drink and eat right away. Fluoride The natural mineral fluoride plays an important part in reducing tooth decay, so it’s important that your child get enough fluoride to reap its benefits. How does fluoride work? Bacteria in your mouth produce acid that removes minerals from the surface of your teeth. Fluoride can stop the tooth decay process by preventing the minerals in tooth enamel from breaking down. Because it is so effective, fluoride has been added to community water supplies since the 1940s, and today, more than 70% of cities with public water supplies have fluoridated water. Besides the water supply, an estimated 95% of toothpastes sold in the US contain fluoride. While a certain amount of fluoride is good for teeth, swallowing too much fluoride can cause a child’s teeth to develop lasting white spots, brown stains or problems with the enamel in permanent teeth. To prevent this problem, which is called dental fluorosis, parents should make sure their children do not get too much fluoride. Toddlers two to three years old, for example, can’t spit out toothpaste very well, and they might swallow too much fluoridated toothpaste. Certain foods also contain large amounts of fluoride. At the other extreme, your tap or well water might not have enough fluoride, or if your child drinks only bottled water, it may not contain fluoride at all. It’s important for parents to make sure their children get the right amount of fluoride, and at Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry, we’re glad to advise you. If your child needs more fluoride than he or she is likely getting, we can give you a prescription to help. If we see your child is developing dental fluorosis, we can help figure out the cause and prevent further problems. X-rays Even for young children who only have their primary teeth, x-rays play a big role in their dental health. X-rays are our best way to make sure teeth are coming in properly, that they are healthy and that unseen problems are not cropping up. Besides helping us find decay, x-rays also enable us to see how wisdom teeth are coming in and help our orthodontists in planning for treatment. Think of x-rays as a way to find dental problems early, so it is easier and more affordable to treat your child. Here at Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry, we use digital x-rays and take particular care so that your child receives the least amount of exposure. For a growing child, Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry suggests x-rays once each year. It’s one of the best ways we can make sure your child keeps smiling. Tooth-Colored Fillings If your child needs a filling, one that is tooth-colored will blend in so well with other teeth, you’ll forget it is even there. Our tooth-colored fillings are made of a special resin that tightly bonds to the tooth, keeps it strong and also releases fluoride to help prevent cavities. Another advantage of a tooth-colored filling is that the dentist removes less of the tooth than when a “metal” (amalgam) filling is used. A tooth-colored filling doesn’t conduct heat or cold, or darken the way a metal filling can. It is no wonder tooth-colored fillings are the most widely used fillings today. At Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry, we’re very good at calming children and keeping their discomfort to a minimum when we fill a tooth. We have fun kids programs for them to watch or they can listen to music through headphones. Crowns Dental crowns are used to cover a tooth that might be likely to break or is too damaged and decayed to be fixed with a filling. A crown is an aesthetic covering or a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over another tooth to provide it stability. Crowns are generally used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth. When a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth, a crown is a good option. Crowns are also used to restore the shape and size of chipped or damaged teeth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using dental cement. We only recommend dental crowns for children when it is absolutely necessary. Root Canal We may perform a root canal if a decayed tooth or deep cavity is causing pain to a child. The problem typically results from an untreated cavity that is now deep within the tooth. Inflammation from the cavity can cause discomfort and sensitivity. What is a Pulpotomy? This procedure is a nerve treatment in which the sick portion of the tooth nerve is removed and medicine is placed in order to avoid extracting the tooth. A baby root canal (pulpotomy) is similar to a root canal treatment of an adult tooth. It removes all the coronal pulp tissue from the chamber of the tooth. Pulpotomy procedures are very important to prevent the unnecessary and untimely loss of baby teeth. Remember, baby teeth are important to save in order to maintain adequate space for adult teeth. If baby teeth are lost prematurely, the rest of the teeth may begin to shift, causing crowding and reducing the space for adult teeth to grow in. If this happens, braces may be needed to properly re-align the teeth. Extractions In most instances, we want to save teeth for as long as possible. There are times, however, when removing a tooth is recommended. Teeth are removed for a wide variety of reasons including large decay unable to be restored, primary teeth that need assistance in exfoliating, orthodontic concerns, infection of the nerve tissues, etc. Dr. Tyler, Dr. Sean or Dr. Nate will clarify why an extraction is recommended in each case and how the space will be managed following the removal of the tooth. ----------------------------- General Questions How can I prepare my child for his or her first dental visit? The first step in preparing your child for the dentist is to forget about your own past experiences. Visiting the dentist for children can be a very pleasant and confidence building experience. The best possible way to prepare your child is to refrain from using words that might cause unnecessary fear, such as shots, needles, drilling, pulling or pain. You can prepare your child by using phrases such as “go for a ride in the dental chair”, or the dentist will “count your teeth”, or “take pictures of your teeth (x-rays)”, etc. It is our practice to always be open and honest in order to build trust. The main difference is that we use vocabulary that conveys the exact same message in a non-frightening way. We welcome parents of children under three to accompany their child for the initial examination. At the completion of dental exams, we welcome parents to the treatment/consult room for a discussion of findings and review of your child’s oral hygiene. Do I stay with my child during their dental visits? This is ultimately your decision 100%. However, we do ask that you allow your child to accompany our friendly staff through the dental experience. We are highly experienced in helping children overcome anxiety. The method allows our dental staff to build a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Separation anxiety is not uncommon in children, so please try not to be too concerned if your child exhibits negative behavior. This is normal and will soon diminish. Our purpose is to gain your child’s confidence which will allow them to overcome apprehension. Studies and experience have shown that most children over the age of three react more positively when permitted to experience the dental visit on their own and in an environment suited and designed specifically for children. However, if you choose, you may come with your child to the treatment area. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult. Dental Related Questions: When will my baby start getting teeth? Babies typically begin teething at six months of age. Usually the bottom lower front teeth erupt first, followed by the two upper front teeth. Children have twenty teeth compared to adults that typically have 32. In general, a child will have erupted all of their teeth by 2-3 years of age. When should I take my child to the dentist for his or her first visit? The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children should visit the dentist within six months after the first tooth appears or by the baby’s first birthday. The first visit will usually include exam, cleaning, fluoride and a discussion about prevention, diet and homecare oral health guidance. How often do I need to bring my child to the dentist? In general, check-ups/recall visits are recommended at a minimum of every six months in order to aid in prevention of cavities or other dental problems. It is always better to diagnose a potential problem early on. Every child has individual oral healthcare needs, therefore the frequency of dental visits will vary as the situation necessitates. Regular visits keep children familiar with the dentist and his or her staff. These visits build confidence in children and are much more pleasant when the child is not forced to associate the dentist with emergency treatment due to tooth pain and dental neglect. Decay or breakdown of a tooth that is detected in the early stages is easier and less costly to treat. How important are baby teeth since they are going to fall out anyway? “Baby” teeth or primary teeth have three main functions. First, they allow children to chew. The importance of pain free feeding directly relates your child’s diet, nutrition and overall health. Second, baby teeth are important for speech development. Last, baby teeth provide a pathway for permanent teeth to erupt in a timely way. Premature tooth loss from cavities/infection, allows for remaining teeth to move into the empty space and ultimately cause crowding. Cavities on baby teeth can cause permanent teeth to have higher cavity susceptibility. If my toddler has a cavity, should he or she get a filling? The earlier a cavity is diagnosed and treated, the less invasive the overall treatment will be. Over time, cavities can spread if allowed and possibly lead to an infection. It is important to evaluate each situation on and individual basis to determine what is best for the child at any given time in terms of the child’s ability to cope with a procedure. What are sealants and does my child need them? Sealants are a hard plastic-like material that is placed into the grooves of the chewing surfaces of teeth in order to help prevent cavities. They work by blocking out the sticky, sugary foods and liquids that tend to get caught in the teeth. The application is fast and pain free. Sealants are recommended based on the child’s diet, history of cavities (family’s history), and overall anatomy of the teeth deep (deep grooves). How safe are dental x-rays? Dental radiographs or x-rays are necessary for your child in receiving the highest standard of care. The diagnostic benefits far outweigh the minimal risks involved in the use of dental x-rays. Pediatric dentists are careful to limit the amount of radiation exposure for children by using lead aprons and digital radiography which reduces radiation substantially. Without the use of x-rays conditions which include cavities, missing or extra teeth and pathology/diseases will go undetected. Digital x-rays have minimal radiation, crystal-clear images and unbelievable speed. With digital x-rays, the patient’s images appear instantaneously on a nearby monitor, giving us a convenient chair-side image to analyze and refer to throughout the dental visit. We are pleased to offer this dental technology. What is the main difference between a pediatric dentist and a general dentist? A pediatric dentist has two to three years of advanced training following dental school that is specific to treating children as well as those with special needs. We are oral healthcare providers for infants, toddlers, adolescents, and teenagers. We also work closely with pediatricians to provide for children with special healthcare needs. Oral Healthcare At Home: What should I use to clean my baby's teeth? The use of a soft cloth, gauze or toothbrush for children 0-2 years will adequately remove plaque and bacteria that can lead to cavities. Caregivers should clean the teeth at least once a day (most importantly before bedtime following the last feeding). Infant non-fluoridated toothpaste can be used. Until your child is able to spit out the toothpaste without swallowing it, we recommend not to use fluoridated toothpaste. How can I prevent baby bottle tooth decay and early childhood cavities? First, rinse the irritated area with warm salt water and if swelling is present place a cold pack on the area. Over the counter Children’s Tylenol or Ibuprofen (Motrin) are recommended for any pain. DO NOT place aspirin on the gums, this can cause harm to the tissue. Please, see a dentist or healthcare professional as soon as possible. Is fluoride toothpaste and fluoridated water good for my child? Use of fluoride for prevention of cavities is documented to be safe and effective in decreasing cavities by making teeth stronger when given in the correct dosage. If your water supply contains less than 0.6ppm (private wells), a dietary supplement may be recommended for your child (6 months to 16 years old). If your child is unable to spit out the toothpaste, then it should be avoided. It is acceptable to begin using toothpaste (pea-size amount) with children 2-3 years of age. Prior to that, parents should clean the child’s teeth with water and a soft-bristled toothbrush. It is important to contact a pediatric dentist to make sure your child is not receiving excessive or inadequate amounts of daily fluoride. If my child has tooth or mouth pain, what can I do to help? First, rinse the irritated area with warm salt water and if swelling is present place a cold pack on the area. Over the counter Children’s Tylenol or Ibuprofen (Motrin) are recommended for any pain. DO NOT place aspirin on the gums, this can cause harm to the tissue. Please, see a dentist or healthcare professional as soon as possible. What can I do to stop my child’s thumb sucking and pacifier habits? Is it harming their teeth? Many oral habits such as thumb and pacifier sucking only become a problem if they persist for long periods of time. This is very normal in infants and young children. Most children stop these habits on their own by age three. Generally, habit-breaking appliances are recommended and used for children who want to stop, but need an active reminder. Long term oral habits such as thumb or finger sucking, mouth breathing, and tongue thrusting can produce dental and skeletal changes. The amount of change is directly related to frequency, duration, intensity and direction of the forces applied. What should I do if my child has a tooth knocked out? First, remain calm. Second, locate the tooth. Always hold the tooth by the crown (not the root). Third (if possible), determine whether it is a baby tooth or a permanent tooth. If it is a baby tooth, do not replace the tooth into the socket. For permanent teeth, re-implant by applying mild finger pressure. If that is not possible, put the tooth in a plastic cup of milk and take your child and the plastic cup immediately to the pediatric dentist.

PDF Form and a printable form for all new patients of Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry. Easily download the file to your computer and print. Please fill out all info on the form before coming in. New Patient Form PDF Download CLICK HERE to Print each JPEG Form separately on it's own. New Patients We will schedule appointments as soon as time permits and at your convenience. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they tend to be well rested and therefore more cooperative. This allows our staff to work more leisurely with the child for their comfort. School aged children that require extensive work should also be scheduled in the morning time for the same reason. While we understand that missing school is a concern, it can be kept to a minimum when regular dental care is sustained. Appointment times are reserved exclusively for each patient, therefore we ask that you please notify our office at least two business days in advance of your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to keep your appointment. Other patients in need of our care could be scheduled if we have sufficient time to notify them. We do understand and realize that emergencies do occur, but we ask for your assistance in this regard. If you do not call to cancel and fail to show as scheduled, you may be charged a broken appointment fee. Payment Options Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. We accept cash, personal checks, and most major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard and Discover, as well as debit cards which bear the Visa or MasterCard logo. Insurance Claims We file dental insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. We do not have a contract with every insurance company, therefore, we are not responsible for how your insurance company handles its claims or for what benefits they pay on a claim. We will assist you in estimating your portion of the cost of treatment, but we cannot guarantee what your insurance will or will not do with each claim. What insurance plans do you take? We currently accept Utah and Nevada Medicaid, and most PPO's (* We also accept most other insurances, If you have any questions please call for details). If you have any questions or concerns about your particular insurance plan, do not hesitate to contact the office. As a courtesy to our patients we will be happy to file a claim on your behalf but ultimately the responsibility for payment of the claim belongs to the patients. Please keep us informed of any insurance changes such as policy name, insurance company address, or a change of employment status. *IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE: Insurance providers we work with may change at any time and without notice. If you have any questions regarding your insurance provider, please contact our office at (435) 586-8188 - Thank you. Co-Payment You may have noticed that sometimes your dental insurer reimburses you or the dentist at a lower rate than the dentist's actual fee. Frequently, insurance companies state that the reimbursement was reduced because your dentist's fee has exceeded the usual, customary, or reasonable fee ("UCR") used by the company. The data used to establish fees may be dated and are set by the insurance company so they can make a profit, too. Insurance companies set their own schedules, and each company uses a different set of fees. These allowable fees may vary widely because each company collects fee information from claims it processes. The insurance company then uses this data to establish their fee schedule. Additional Financial Information Dental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiving dental care. On average, most dental insurance plans pay between 50%-80% of the average total fee. Some plans pay more, some pay less. The percentage paid may be determined by how much you or your employer has paid for coverage or the type of contract your employer has set up with the insurance company. If we have received all of your insurance information on the day of the appointment, we will be happy to file your claim for you. You should be familiar with your insurance benefits, as we will collect from you the estimated amount insurance is not expected to pay. By law your insurance company is required to pay each claim within 30 days of receipt. We file claims in a manner such that your insurance company will receive claims within days of the treatment. You are responsible for any balance on your account after 30 days, whether insurance has paid or not. If you have not paid your balance within 60 days, a finance charge of 1.5% or $5, whichever is greater, may be added to your account each month until paid. What kind of payment plans do you have? We expect all patient portions and deductibles to be paid when service is provided. We implemented and enforce this policy to keep costs down for each of our patients. Prior to treatment, our staff will provide an estimate of the treatment costs or co-pay. Usually the co-pay is a close estimate but in some cases an additional amount will be due. In the event extensive treatment plans are required, financial arrangements can be discussed. Do you offer any financing options? As a service to our patients, we are pleased to offer Care Credit. With Care Credit you can finance 100% of your dental care and there are no upfront costs, no annual fees, and no prepayment penalties. So, you can begin your treatment today and conveniently pay with low, monthly payments. We also offer Lending Club, call us today for more information! Print each JPEG separately on it's own.

- 37. Does a tongue tie affect speech or feeding? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 37. Does a tongue tie affect speech or feeding? Tongue Ties & Speech Yes, a tongue tie can sometimes affect both feeding and speech, depending on how tight or restrictive it is. For infants and toddlers: -It can make breastfeeding or bottle feeding difficult, causing poor latch, long feeding times, or nipple pain for mom -Some babies may struggle to get enough milk, which can affect weight gain. For older children: -Tongue tie can sometimes impact speech development, making certain sounds harder to pronounce (like “t,” “d,” “l,” or “r”) -It may also make eating certain foods, licking, or clearing food from the mouth more challenging Not every tongue tie causes problems, but early evaluation helps determine if a procedure, called a frenectomy, is needed to improve feeding, speech, and oral development. <<< Previous Next >>>

- 72. Why are digital X-rays important for childrens dental exams? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 72. Why are digital X-rays important for childrens dental exams? Digital X-Rays Digital X-rays play a key role in keeping your child’s smile healthy and strong. While a visual exam helps us check what’s happening on the surface, digital X-rays allow us to see what’s going on beneath the gums and between the teeth — areas that can’t be examined with the naked eye. Digital X-rays expose children to 50-90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, critical for their developing bodies more sensitive to radiation risks. Images appear instantly on screens, speeding up exams, reducing wait times, and enabling on-the-spot discussions with parents while minimizing discomfort from retakes. Enhanced resolution, contrast, and software tools allow better detection of cavities between teeth, bone loss, misalignment, gum disease, and developmental issues not visible in visual exams alone. Here’s why they’re so important: Early Detection of Cavities Digital X-rays help identify small cavities between teeth before they become larger, more painful problems. Monitoring Growth & Development Children’s mouths change quickly. X-rays allow us to monitor developing teeth, track adult teeth as they come in, and ensure everything is erupting properly. Checking for Hidden Issues We can detect infections, abscesses, extra teeth, missing teeth, or other concerns that may not show obvious symptoms yet. Safer, Lower Radiation Modern digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them a safe and effective diagnostic tool for kids. Faster & More Comfortable Digital imaging is quick, comfortable, and provides instant results so we can review findings with you right away. They support long-term tracking of dental growth, orthodontic planning, injury assessment, and sharing with specialists, with easy electronic storage replacing chemical film processing. This makes them environmentally friendly by eliminating hazardous chemicals and waste. Our goal is always prevention. By using digital X-rays as part of your child’s dental exam, we can catch concerns early, recommend the right treatment, and help keep their smile healthy for years to come.

In Hurricane, Utah, you can get digital X-rays for children at Hurricane Pediatric Dentistry near St. George, Utah that use modern technology to minimize radiation exposure.

- 41-B. What is a lip tie procedure for infants? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 41-B. What is a lip tie procedure for infants? Lip Tie for Infants Signs indicating a lip tie in infants primarily involve feeding difficulties, physical restrictions, and related growth or comfort issues. A lip tie procedure for infants, known as a frenectomy or frenotomy, releases the restrictive labial frenulum connecting the upper lip to the gum using scissors or laser, improving lip mobility for better breastfeeding. This minor intervention is quick, typically painless without anesthesia, and allows rapid recovery with immediate nursing possible. Symptoms Indicating a Lip Tie Common signs in infants include: -Difficulty latching or poor latch during breastfeeding -Clicking sounds, fussiness, or frustration while feeding -Poor weight gain, long feeding sessions, milk leakage, reflux, or gagging -For mothers: nipple pain, cracking, bleeding, engorgement, or mastitis Feeding-Related Symptoms Difficulty latching or staying latched during breastfeeding or bottle feeding, often leading to shallow latch and poor milk transfer. Clicking, smacking, or noisy sounds while feeding due to poor seal and air swallowing. Prolonged feeding sessions, frequent breaks to breathe, milk leaking from mouth sides, or fussiness/frustration during feeds. Fatigue or falling asleep quickly during feeding from inefficient sucking and breathing issues. Physical Signs Visible tight band of tissue connecting upper lip to gums, with difficulty fully lifting or flanging the upper lip. Blistering or calluses on the upper lip from friction. Not all lip ties require treatment; mild cases may improve with watchful waiting, lactation support, or positioning adjustments. Impacts on Growth and Comfort Poor weight gain, gassiness, colic, reflux-like symptoms, or feeding aversion from swallowing air. In mothers: nipple pain, misshapen nipples, low supply, clogged ducts, or mastitis. Procedure Details -Performed by pediatricians, dentists, or ENTs; laser or scissors sever the tight tissue -Minimal discomfort, no sutures needed, and low reattachment risk with post-care stretches -Often paired with tongue tie treatment if both present -Potential Benefits and Complications if Untreated -Early release can enhance feeding, prevent dental gaps or decay, and support speech development -Untreated severe cases may lead to ongoing feeding issues, weight concerns, or later oral problems Signs in Older Children (if untreated) Gaps between upper front teeth, trouble cleaning teeth, food trapping, speech delays, or dental decay. Consult a pediatrician, dentist, or lactation specialist experienced in ties for evaluation, as not all lip ties cause issues. Early detection aids breastfeeding and prevents complications. Consult a pediatrician, lactation consultant, or Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry in Cedar City, Utah today for evaluation. Post-procedure, expect minimal fussiness with quick healing; gentle exercises aid recovery. <<< Previous Next >>>
- 1. When should my child first see a dentist? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 1. When should my child first see a dentist? First time to the dentist Most kids should see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth comes in — whichever happens first. We know that sounds early but these first visits are usually quick, gentle, and focused on education and on helping both you and your child feel comfortable. At the first appointment, we’ll take a look at how your child’s teeth and gums are developing, answer any questions you have, and share simple tips for brushing, teething, and healthy habits at home. It’s also a great way for your child to get used to the dental office in a positive, low-stress way. Starting early helps prevent problems before they begin, and sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles. <<< Previous Next >>>
- 62. Should I take my child to ER or dentist for tooth pain? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 62. Should I take my child to ER or dentist for tooth pain? Tooth Pain Most toothaches in children are best treated by a pediatric dentist, not the emergency room. Dentists can diagnose the cause, treat cavities, infections, or gum issues, and relieve pain safely. See the dentist as soon as possible if your child has: -Persistent tooth pain -Swelling in the gums or face -Trouble eating or sleeping Go to the ER immediately only if your child has: -Severe facial swelling that affects breathing -High fever with dental pain -Trauma with uncontrolled bleeding or broken jaw For typical toothaches, contacting your pediatric dentist first is usually the fastest and safest way to get relief. <<< Previous Next >>>
- 30. How long does sedation last? | Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry
< Back 30. How long does sedation last? Sedation Timeline The length of sedation depends on the type used: -Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) – Works quickly and wears off within minutes after the mask is removed, so your child can usually go home right after the visit. -Oral sedation – Can last a few hours. Your child may feel drowsy for a while afterward, so it’s important to plan quiet time at home. -IV or deeper sedation – May last longer depending on the procedure. Your child will be monitored closely until it’s safe for them to go home. We will always give you clear instructions about what to expect after sedation, including activity, eating, and supervision, so your child stays safe and comfortable. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 41-A. Does Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry offer lip tie procedures in Utah? Best Lip Tie Dentist in Utah Yes, Cedar View Pediatric Dentistry in Southern Utah offers lip tie treatment. When needed, they perform a frenectomy — a gentle procedure that releases the tight tissue (frenulum) connecting the upper lip to the gums. The procedure is typically completed using advanced laser technology, which helps minimize bleeding, reduce discomfort, and promote faster healing. It is usually quick, and most children recover comfortably with minimal downtime. Each child is carefully evaluated to determine whether treatment is necessary.

< Back 6. How do I prepare my toddler for the dentist? Preparation for Dental Visit The best way to prepare your toddler is to keep things simple, positive, and low-pressure. Talk about the dentist like it’s a normal, friendly place where we count teeth and help keep smiles healthy — not something scary or painful. A few helpful tips: -Use positive words like “clean,” “check,” and “count your teeth” -Avoid words like “shot,” “hurt,” or “pain,” even if you’re trying to reassure them -Read a fun kids’ book or watch a short video about going to the dentist -Let your child bring a favorite toy or comfort item to the appointment -Try to schedule visits earlier in the day when toddlers are usually happier and more rested -Most importantly — stay calm and relaxed. Kids pick up on your energy, and when parents feel confident, children usually do too. <<< Previous Next >>>

They may feel silly or calm, but they can respond to questions and instructions. -Oral or IV sedation – Your child may be lightly or deeply asleep, depending on what’s needed for the procedure. No matter the type, your child is closely monitored the entire time to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and relaxed. Our goal is to make the experience stress-free while completing the dental work efficiently. <<< Previous Next >>>
