When should my child first see a dentist?

We recommend that your child see the dentist by the time they reach their first birthday, or their first tooth comes in. Children should see an orthodontist for the first time by their 7th birthday. At Andover Pediatric Dentistry, your child’s dental care and orthodontic treatment can all be completed under one roof.

Is sedation safe for children?

Sedation dentistry is proven to be safe for children. In most cases, laughing gas, which is administered through a mask is sufficient to calm nervous children. Laughing gas wears off almost immediately following treatment, with very few risks of adverse side effects. For more complex treatments, our dentists will inform you of other sedation options that may be suitable.

How often does my child need to see a dentist?

After the eruption of the first tooth, it is recommended that children see a dentist twice a year for regular exams, cleanings, and preparation for orthodontic treatment if necessary.
