Children’s dentistry questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
A common guideline is around the first tooth or first birthday. If your child is older and has not been seen yet, simply book and mention their age.
Can I stay with my child during the visit?
Parents are usually welcome to stay, especially with younger children. Let the team know your preference when you arrive.
What should I do if my child knocks out a tooth?
Do not replant a baby tooth. For an adult tooth, handle it by the crown, keep it in milk and call right away. Seek emergency care first for head injury or breathing problems.
