When Should Your Child First See a Dentist?
Dr. Schweifler recommends that parents bring their child in for their first dental appointment when their first baby tooth comes in or by their first birthday. After that first visit, plan on coming to see us every six months for a check-up.
These early visits are important for a few key reasons:
- They help your child get comfortable with our office, and helps prevent dental anxiety later on.
- They allow us to spot any potential problems early when treatment is simplest.
- Most importantly, they help us establish good oral health habits with your child from the very beginning
We’ll set up your entire family for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
Your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Starting early helps make sure their teeth and gums are growing in correctly. It also gets them comfortable with the dentist and helps build healthy habits that will protect their smile for life.
Should I take my child to the emergency room for a toothache?
The emergency room isn’t the best place to go for toothaches, unless you see severe facial swelling or your child has a high fever. Your first call should be to your dentist, because they save time for emergencies.
You can give your child over-the-counter pain medicine for kids to help manage the pain temporarily. If it’s after hours and the pain is extreme, an urgent care clinic is often a faster and cheaper choice than the ER. Our goal is to see your child as quickly as we can.
Is it easier to eat with dentures or implants?
Most people find it much easier to eat with dental implants. Because implants are secured in your jawbone, they act like natural teeth and don’t slip or move when you chew. They also help the bone in your jaw, and your bite, stay strong.
Dentures can take practice to adjust to and might make you avoid some crunchy or sticky foods. We can discuss which option fits your lifestyle and budget best at your next visit.
What should I do for severe tooth sensitivity?
If you have severe tooth sensitivity, you should schedule an appointment with a dentist to find the cause. The problem could be a cavity, receding gums, or worn-down enamel. Until your appointment, you can use a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth and try to avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks.
How often do I need dental X-rays?
How often you need X-rays depends on your personal dental health. For most people, we recommend “bitewing” X-rays about once a year to check for hidden cavities between your teeth. Dr. Schweifler will let you know if you need them more or less often based on your age, dental history, and any specific risks.
How long do dental fillings last?
A dental filling can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. How long it lasts depends on the material used, the size of the filling, and how well you take care of your teeth. Good brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups will help your fillings last as long as possible.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
Both Invisalign and braces are great at straightening teeth, but they work in different ways. Invisalign uses a series of clear removable trays. A big plus is that you can take them out to eat and brush your teeth normally.
Traditional braces are glued to your teeth. They’re better for more complicated tooth movements and malocclusions. The best choice really depends on your specific teeth and your personal lifestyle.
