See below for answers to some of the most common questions we receive, and if you have further questions, feel free to contact our office for the answers and support you need.

When should my child have their first dental visit?

It is recommended that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of the eruption of their first tooth. Early dental visits help establish a positive relationship with the dentist and allow us to monitor your child’s oral health from an early age.

How often should my child visit the dentist for check-ups?

We typically recommend that children visit the dentist for routine check-ups every six months. Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and catching any issues early.

What dental services do you offer for children?

At Coulter & Casper Pediatric Dentistry, we offer a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services, including exams and cleanings, preventive care, restorative treatments, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and emergency dental care.

Is fluoride treatment safe for children?

Yes, fluoride treatment is safe and effective for children when administered by a dental professional in appropriate doses. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. Our team will assess your child’s risk of cavities and recommend fluoride treatment as needed.

How can I prepare my child for their dental appointment?

You can help prepare your child for their dental appointment by talking to them about the importance of dental care in a positive and age-appropriate manner. You can also read books or watch videos about visiting the dentist to help familiarize them with the experience.

What should I do in case of a pediatric dental emergency?

Contact our office immediately. We offer advice on immediate steps to take and will schedule an emergency visit if necessary to address the issue promptly.
