Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Answers to Common Pediatric Dental Questions

Pediatric dentists are trained to work with anxious or fearful children. They may offer distraction techniques, such as music or movies, and explain each step of the procedure simply and clearly to help reduce anxiety.

To prevent cavities in children, it’s important to make sure they brush and floss correctly, limit the amount of sugary foods and drinks in their diet, and get them in for regular dental exams to detect and treat any dental problems early.
Dental sealants are an effective way to prevent cavities in children by sealing the pits and fissures on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Pediatric dentists may recommend dental sealants for children who are at increased risk for cavities or to protect new teeth that have not yet developed full enamel.

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective sedative agent used by pediatric dentists to help children who feel anxious or fearful about dental procedures. It is delivered through a small mask that fits over the child’s nose and helps to calm the child’s nerves, while still allowing them to remain conscious and responsive. Nitrous oxide has a fast onset and wears off quickly, allowing children to return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure. It is a milder form of sedation than general anesthesia and is typically used for less invasive procedures.

The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist for the first time at 12 months of age or within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth.
You can help prepare your child by talking positively about the visit and reading children’s books on the subject. You can also practice tooth brushing with him and give him an idea of ​​what will happen during the visit.
Yes, fluoride is safe and effective in preventing cavities. Pediatric dentists may recommend the use of fluoride toothpaste or mouth rinse for children, and in some cases, may recommend additional fluoride treatments.
The length of dental treatment will depend on the nature and severity of your child’s dental problem. Pediatric dentists can provide a treatment plan and an estimate of the duration of treatment.
Pediatric dental treatment under general anesthesia is a form of sedation used for children who require complex or invasive dental procedures or for children who are unable to tolerate other forms of sedation. It involves the use of medications that induce a deep sleep, making the child completely unconscious and unaware of the dental procedure. The process usually involves a pre-operative assessment, and the procedure is performed in a hospital or outpatient surgery center. After the procedure, the child will be monitored until they have fully recovered from the effects of the anesthesia. General anesthesia is a safe and effective form of sedation, but it does carry some risks and should only be used when other forms of sedation are not suitable or effective for the child’s needs.
