When Should My Child Start Dental Visits?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children begin dental visits when they have one tooth that's fully erupted, but not later than age one. As soon as your child has a tooth, cavities can begin, especially when they go to bed with a bottle or sippy cup that contains milk or juice. That allows sugars to remain on their teeth for hours and starts the process of decay.

What Happens During My Child's Appointment?

During your initial consultation, your dentist will examine your child's teeth and jaw alignment to determine whether there are any problems requiring attention. We may take X-rays, but generally, children don't need them. We can conduct the exam in the dentist's chair or on your lap, whichever is more comfortable for your child.

Which Services Do Pediatric Dentists Provide in Burleson?

We're a full-service dental office and provide comprehensive dentistry for children. We want to help them maintain a beautiful smile, so we offer the following, as well as other services:

• Dental bonding: If your child has chipped or cracked teeth, we can apply a tooth-colored bonding material that will repair the damaged area.
• Baby root canal: If your child has a cavity that has penetrated the root, we can perform a baby root canal to restore function, and it may be the only way to save the tooth.
• Cleaning: Our pediatric dentists and hygienists excel at getting their young patients to “open wide” so their teeth can be cleaned.
• Sealant: We can apply a sealant to your child's teeth to reduce the risk of decay.
• Crowns: If your child has a large cavity, we can make a dental crown to cover the tooth and protect it.
• Fillings: If your child needs a filling due to decay or damage, we can comfortably and safely install one.
• Mouthguards: If your child participates in athletics, we recommend a mouthguard to protect their teeth from damage or being knocked out. If you need a custom-fitted mouthguard, let us know.

When Do Baby Teeth Come In?

Primary teeth, also called baby teeth, can begin to erupt as early as 4 months of age, but usually start at about 6 months. The two bottom teeth are usually the first to appear, but your children's dentist in our office can be more precise about the onset of teething for your child.

When Do Baby Teeth Fall Out?

Your child's baby teeth will fall out in the same order they came in, and this may begin as early as 5 or 6 years old. The time will vary according to the child, but your pediatric dentist can be more precise about the timeframe for your child.

What Causes Toothaches in Children?

Generally, a cavity is the cause of a toothache in a child, but there can be other factors as well. If your child has recurring toothaches, especially in a specific tooth, call our Burleson office to make an appointment.
