Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dental Care

At Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Katie want every parent to feel confident and at ease when navigating their child’s pediatric dental care journey. Think of this as your trusty map through the waters of pediatric dental care. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we hear from parents who sail through our doors.

A pediatric dentist is like a captain for your child’s dental journey. Pediatric dentists are doctors who are specially trained to navigate the unique oral health needs of little ones from infancy through adolescence. Our pediatric dentists help kids chart a course toward healthy habits and bright smiles that shine for a lifetime.

We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday or within six months of spotting their first tooth. These early visits help us chart a smooth course for healthy development, making sure their teeth and gums are shipshape from the very start!

Absolutely! Baby teeth are the anchors that keep your child’s smile steady. They help little ones chew, speak and grin with confidence. Plus, they guide the permanent teeth into the right position when it’s time for those to sail in. Keeping them healthy sets the course for a lifetime of strong, beautiful smiles!

Our crew specializes in gentle, minimally invasive restorative treatments to bring your child’s smile back to calm waters. Whether it’s a small cavity or a bigger wave of decay, we’ll chart the right course with solutions that preserve their natural teeth.

Keeping cavities away is smooth sailing with the right habits. Regular brushing, flossing and routine checkups help protect your child’s smile from rough seas. Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Katie also recommend drinking plenty of water to wash away cavity-causing sugars and keep smiles shipshape between visits. During your child’s appointment, our crew will share easy tips and tricks to help them keep their teeth strong and shining bright all year long.
