Plan Your First Visit →Questions Parents Often Ask
We've got answers to help ease your mind before your child's visit.
When should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child's first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help us detect any concerns and educate parents on proper care techniques.
How can I help my child not be afraid of the dentist?
Talk positively about dental visits, read dental-themed books, and play "pretend dentist" at home. Our team also uses gentle desensitization techniques — we show kids every tool before we use it and narrate everything we're doing.
Do you accept dental insurance?
Yes! We accept most major dental insurance plans including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, and many more. We also work with Medicaid/Medi-Cal and offer flexible payment plans. Contact our office for specific coverage questions.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Absolutely. We use digital X-rays which emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We also use protective lead aprons, and we only take X-rays when clinically necessary based on your child's individual risk factors.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
Call us immediately at (949) 555-1234. We reserve same-day appointments for dental emergencies. If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist (in milk or water), and bring it with you. For after-hours emergencies, our voicemail provides guidance.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Most children benefit from dental checkups every 6 months. However, some children with higher cavity risk may need more frequent visits. We'll recommend a schedule tailored specifically to your child's needs at their first appointment.
