Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first visit the dentist?
The first dental visit is recommended around the time the first tooth appears, or by the child's first birthday. Early visits help your child get comfortable with dental care.
How often should children have dental check-ups?
Most children benefit from a check-up every 6 months. Dr. Divya may recommend more frequent visits if your child is at higher risk of cavities.
What if my child is anxious about the dentist?
Dr. Divya uses a gentle, tell-show-do technique to build trust with nervous children. We go at your child's pace and make the experience as positive as possible.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Yes — digital dental X-rays use very low radiation levels and are safe when taken at the appropriate intervals. They are an important tool for detecting decay between teeth that cannot be seen visually.
Do baby teeth really matter if they fall out anyway?
Absolutely. Baby teeth guide the permanent teeth into the correct position and are important for speech and chewing. Early loss due to decay can lead to crowding problems later.
