Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start taking my baby to the dentist?
We recommend starting at age 1 or as soon as the first tooth erupts. Dr. Slepak recommends checks every 6 months from that point so we can assess jaw growth, teeth alignment, eruption patterns, and oral habits like thumb-sucking early on.
What is an appropriate diet for my child?
A daily diet should include the major food groups of meat/fish/eggs, vegetable/fruit, bread/cereal as well as milk and other dairy products for proper tooth development.
When do babies go to the dentist for the first time?
By age 1, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. At that first visit we evaluate eruption patterns and oral habits, and give parents personalized oral hygiene education.
Can my child's diet affect their dental health?
Absolutely. A balanced diet helps teeth develop appropriately. A diet high in sugar and other carbohydrates may increase the probability of tooth decay.
How long does it take for back teeth to come through?
It differs for every child. We track eruption patterns during development checks with photos, X-rays, and growth charts. Typically around age 6 children start losing their first tooth.
How do I create a diet safe for my child's teeth?
Initiate a balanced diet and limit starch-based foods. Try replacing jelly with fresh fruit slices. All types of sugars can promote tooth decay.
What do they use to numb your mouth at the dentist?
We use numbing gels, laughing gas, and distraction techniques like storytelling. We introduce tools in a non-threatening way with praise and positive reinforcement.
Should I eliminate all sugar and starch from my child's diet?
Of course not. Many of these foods are important for your child's health. Starch-based foods are safer for teeth when eaten with an entire meal. Talk to our staff about your child's diet.
