Common questions
Frequently asked questions
When should a child first see a dentist?
An early visit after the first teeth appear helps families receive preventive guidance and allows the child to become familiar with dental care.
Are baby teeth important if they fall out?
Yes. They support eating, speech and space for developing permanent teeth, and dental problems can cause pain or infection.
