< Back 7. Why does my child have cavities even though we brush? What Happens If Your Child Has a Cavity You’re definitely not alone — cavities can still happen even when families are doing their best to brush every day. A few common reasons include: -Hidden sugars in snacks, drinks, juice, and even some “healthy” foods -Genetics and enamel strength, which can make some kids more cavity-prone -Brushing technique — little hands often miss hard-to-reach spots -Frequent snacking or sipping throughout the day, which keeps sugar on teeth longer -Bedtime milk or juice, especially if teeth aren’t brushed afterward The good news is — cavities don’t mean you’ve done anything wrong. Every child’s mouth is different. During visits, we can help fine-tune brushing habits, talk about diet choices, and recommend things like fluoride treatments or sealants to give your child extra protection. <<< Previous Next >>>

< 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 >>>

< 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 >>>

< Back 55. When should kids start flossing? Flossing Kids should start flossing as soon as they have two teeth that touch. This usually happens around ages 2–3, but it can vary. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach, which is important for preventing cavities and gum problems. At first, parents will usually need to floss for their child, and as they get older and more coordinated (around 7–10 years old), they can start doing it themselves with supervision. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 4. Are baby teeth really that important? Importance of Baby Teeth Yes — baby teeth play a much bigger role than most people realize. They help your child chew properly, learn to speak clearly, and hold the right amount of space for their adult teeth to come in properly. When baby teeth get cavities or are lost too early, it can lead to pain, infections, and even crowding or alignment problems down the road. Taking care of baby teeth now helps set the foundation for a healthy, confident smile as your child grows. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 52. How much will a specific procedure cost? Specific Costs The cost of a dental procedure depends on your child’s needs, the type of treatment, and whether you have insurance. Before any treatment, our team will provide a detailed estimate so you know what to expect. If you have insurance, we can help verify coverage and explain any copays or out-of-pocket costs. For families without insurance, we offer flexible payment options through CareCredit and Lending Club to make care affordable. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 61. Can a broken baby tooth be saved? Broken Teeth In most cases, a broken baby tooth cannot be “saved” in the same way a permanent tooth can, because baby teeth are meant to fall out naturally. However, it’s still very important to see a dentist right away. Here’s why: -A dentist can check for injury to the gums, jaw, or permanent teeth underneath -Smooth any sharp edges to prevent cuts or discomfort -Treat pain or infection if needed -Monitor the tooth until it naturally falls out Even though the tooth may not be saved long-term, prompt dental care ensures your child stays comfortable and avoids complications. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 25. Is sedation dentistry safe for children? Sedation Safety Yes — when used appropriately, sedation dentistry is very safe for children. Dr. Tyler and our team follow strict safety protocols and use carefully monitored doses to help your child stay calm and comfortable during dental procedures. We offer different levels of sedation depending on your child’s needs, from mild relaxation (like nitrous oxide, also called “laughing gas”) to deeper sedation when necessary. Before any sedation, we review your child’s medical history, explain the process to you, and monitor them closely throughout the appointment. Sedation can make dental care easier and less stressful for children who are anxious, have special needs, or need longer procedures — all while keeping safety as our top priority. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 2. How often should kids get dental checkups? Teeth cleanings and more The Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children visit the dentist every six months for regular cleanings and checkups. These visits help us catch small problems early, keep teeth clean and healthy, and make sure your child’s smile is growing the way it should. Some kids may need to come in more often — especially if they’re prone to cavities, have orthodontic concerns, or need extra monitoring. We’ll always let you know what schedule is best for your child based on their individual needs. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 54. How much toothpaste should kids use? Toothpaste Usage The amount of toothpaste your child should use depends on their age: -Under 3 years old: Use only a smear or grain-of-rice size of fluoride toothpaste -Ages 3–6: Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste Make sure your child spits out the toothpaste after brushing and doesn’t swallow it. Using the right amount helps prevent cavities while keeping fluoride safe for little ones. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 9. Can I schedule multiple children at the same time and appointment day? Multiple Appointments Yes! We understand that families often have more than one child in need of dental care.

< Back 39. Is a lip tie procedure painful? Lip Tie Procedure Most children experience very little discomfort during a lip tie procedure. We use gentle techniques and local numbing and laser technology to make the process as quick and comfortable as possible. After the procedure: -Your child may have mild soreness or tenderness for a day or two -Any discomfort is usually easily managed with soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief if needed -Most children return to normal activities quickly and continue feeding or eating without problems Our goal is to make the procedure safe, gentle, and stress-free for both your child and you as a parent. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 19. What should my child eat or drink before a visit? What to Eat Before Appointment We recommend that your child eat a normal meal before their appointment unless your dentist has given specific instructions, such as for sedation. A light, balanced meal helps your child feel comfortable and reduces hunger-related irritability. It’s best to avoid sugary snacks or drinks right before the visit, as they can make teeth feel sticky. Encourage water instead to help keep your child’s mouth clean and refreshed. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 45. What happens if my child’s crown comes off? Damaged Crown If your child’s crown comes off, try to keep it and call our office as soon as possible.

< Back 59. What is considered a dental emergency for a child? Emergency Dental A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or prevent further damage. Common emergencies for children include: -Knocked-out tooth – Permanent teeth need prompt care to be saved -Severe toothache or swelling – Could indicate infection -Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth – Especially if sharp edges are causing injury -Bleeding that doesn’t stop – From trauma or injury to the mouth -Injury to the gums, lips, or tongue – Cuts or lacerations that may need stitches If your child experiences any of these, contact our office immediately. For certain cases, such as a knocked-out permanent tooth, quick action can save the tooth. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 38. How is a lip tie treated? Lip Tie Treatment A lip tie can often be treated with a simple, quick procedure called a frenectomy, where the tight tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums is gently released. Here’s what you can expect: -The procedure is usually fast and minimally uncomfortable -We use gentle techniques, sometimes with a laser, to minimize bleeding and speed healing -Most children handle it very well and can return to normal activities quickly -After the procedure, we may give simple exercises or stretches to help the lip move freely and prevent the tissue from reattaching Not every lip tie needs treatment — we evaluate each child individually to determine whether a frenectomy is necessary based on feeding, oral development, and dental health. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 26. What types of sedation do you offer? Oral Sedation We offer several safe and effective sedation options for children, depending on their age, anxiety level, and the procedure: -Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) – A mild, fast-acting sedative that helps children relax while staying awake. It wears off quickly, so your child can return to normal activities right after the appointment. -Oral sedation – Medication taken by mouth to help your child feel calm and drowsy during treatment. -IV or deeper sedation – Used in special cases for longer or more complex procedures. This is carefully monitored by trained professionals to ensure your child’s safety throughout. Before any sedation, we review your child’s health history, explain the process in detail, and monitor them closely during the entire visit to make sure they stay safe and comfortable. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 5. What happens during a child’s first dental visit? Kids First Checkup First visits are usually simple, gentle, and actually pretty fun. The main goal is to help your child feel comfortable while we get a quick look at how their teeth and gums are developing. During the visit, we will: -Gently examine your child’s teeth, gums, and bite -Check for early signs of cavities or any concerns -Talk with you about brushing, teething, nutrition, and habits like thumb sucking or pacifiers -Answer any questions you have as a parent -Depending on your child’s age and comfort level, we may do a light cleaning or just a “ride in the chair” experience to keep things positive. These early visits are more about building trust and confidence than doing major dental work — and they help set the tone for a lifetime of stress-free dental care. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 3. How do I schedule an appointment? Scheduling and Insurance Scheduling an appointment is easy! You can: Call our office directly and speak with our friendly staff. Let us know about your child’s needs or preferences, and we’ll help find a time that works best. If you child is experiencing dental pain or has a dental emergency we will see them that day. We recommend scheduling well in advance for routine checkups, especially for first-time visits or busy times of year, so your child can get the care they need without a wait. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 44. What if my child has crooked teeth? Crooked Teeth Crooked or misaligned teeth are common in children as their mouths grow and adult teeth come in. While mild crowding often corrects itself naturally, significant misalignment can affect chewing, oral hygiene, or future jaw development. We recommend having your child’s teeth evaluated early — usually around age 7 — so we can monitor growth, identify potential issues, and refer to an orthodontist if needed. Early guidance helps ensure a healthy, straight smile as your child grows. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 29. Will my child be asleep during the procedure? Sedation Options It depends on the type of sedation we use: -Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) – Your child will stay completely awake but feel relaxed. 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 >>>

< Back 50. What payment methods do you accept? Payment Options Payment Options Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. We accept Venmo, 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. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 28. How do I prepare my child for sedation? Preparing for Sedation Preparing your child properly helps make the sedation experience safe, smooth, and stress-free. Here’s what you should do: -Follow pre-appointment instructions – Your dentist will give guidance about fasting or avoiding certain foods and drinks before the procedure. -Talk positively about the visit – Explain that the dentist will help keep their teeth healthy and that the medicine will help them feel calm or sleepy. Avoid using words like “pain” or “shot.” -Bring a comfort item – A favorite toy, blanket, or stuffed animal can help your child feel secure. -Plan for quiet time afterward – Depending on the sedation type, your child may be drowsy for a few hours, so arrange a calm environment at home. -Stay calm and reassuring – Kids pick up on their parents’ emotions. If you’re relaxed and confident, your child will feel more comfortable too. Following these steps helps ensure your child is comfortable, safe, and ready for a successful sedation appointment. <<< Previous Next >>>
