 FAQ  

• How long does my child need pediatric dentistry?

• Children typically need pediatric dental care from their first tooth through their early teen years, or until they’re ready to transition to a general dentist—usually around age 13 to 14. However, this can vary depending on your child’s development and comfort level.

• How often should my child see the dentist?

• Children should visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. These regular visits help monitor their development, prevent cavities and build healthy oral hygiene habits early on. In some cases, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your child’s needs.

• When should I start taking my child to a pediatric dentist?

• Your child should see a pediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in—whichever comes first. Early visits help spot potential issues, establish healthy habits and make dental care a normal, positive experience.
