Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your child will start teething around 6 months old. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of getting their first tooth. If you suspect any issues or your child is experiencing discomfort or pain, don’t hesitate to book an appointment with our Kids Dentist in Bracebridge. It’s never too late for a child’s first dental visit.
Baby teeth play a significant role in your child’s oral health and development. They help maintain space for permanent teeth, influence facial structure, and impact your child’s smile and confidence. Children who feel comfortable smiling and eating tend to carry these habits into adulthood. On the other hand, dental pain can have lasting negative effects on eating habits and overall health.
The length of the appointment will depend on your child’s needs and cooperation during the exam. Typically, a first appointment lasts about an hour.
Just like adults, children should visit the dentist every 6 months for a checkup and cleaning. However, if your child experiences tooth or jaw pain, or if you notice changes in their eating habits or behavior, please book an appointment sooner.
Cavities are holes in the tooth that can grow bigger over time. They’re caused by bacteria and dental plaque, which can be exacerbated by sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Some people are more prone to cavities than others, making regular dental visits crucial.
Your mouth is a complex system that includes teeth, tongue, gums, cheeks, glands, ligaments, joints, and bone. When one aspect of oral health suffers, the entire mouth can be affected. Swollen, itchy, sore, or bleeding gums can be an early sign of a more serious problem.
We understand the chaos of family life! Our office is happy to serve the whole family by booking multiple appointments side-by-side. Give us a call, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your family’s needs.
