Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: At what age should I bring my child to the dentist for the first time?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help us monitor growth, teach healthy habits, and prevent problems before they start.
Question 2: At what age should we start Orthodontics/Braces/Invisalign?
The ideal age for a first orthodontic evaluation is between 7–9 years old. At this stage, a child’s jaw and teeth are still developing, making it easier to identify potential issues early and guide proper growth.
That being said, it’s never too late to improve your smile. At MVP Smiles, we see both children and adults of all ages for braces or Invisalign. Many adults today are choosing orthodontic treatment to achieve a healthier bite and a more confident smile.
Question 3: How often should my child visit the dentist?
Just like adults, children should visit the dentist every 6 months for routine cleanings and check-ups. Regular visits help us spot early signs of cavities or misalignment.
Question 4: What can I expect during my child’s first dental visit?
The first visit is usually short and gentle. We’ll:
* Check your child’s teeth, gums, and bite
* Review brushing and flossing techniques
* Discuss diet and cavity prevention
* Answer any parent questions
Our goal is to make it a positive experience so your child feels excited to return.
Question 5: What if my child is nervous or scared about visiting the dentist?
That’s completely normal! At MVP Smiles, we use a kid-friendly approach, explain each step in simple language, and even show them the tools before using them. Our caring staff helps children feel relaxed and comfortable.
Question 6: Does my child need fluoride treatments?
Yes, fluoride is safe and helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Based on your child’s risk of cavities, we may suggest in-office fluoride treatments for extra protection.
Question 7: Are there food restrictions with braces?
Yes, avoid sticky, chewy, or hard foods (like caramel, gum, nuts, ice). Cut soft fruits and vegetables into small pieces to reduce the risk of damage or entrapment.
