Children's dentistry FAQs
Are baby teeth really important?
Yes. Baby teeth help children chew, speak and hold space for adult teeth. Untreated cavities in baby teeth can cause pain and infection.
How often should my child have a checkup?
Most children should visit about every six months, though we may recommend a different schedule based on their needs.
What if my child is nervous?
That is very common. Our team moves at your child's pace, explains everything and celebrates every small win.
What should I do if my child knocks out or chips a tooth?
Call us right away. We offer same-day emergency visits whenever possible.
Do you offer a plan for kids without insurance?
Yes. Our Bliss Wellness Plan includes an Adolescent plan at $199 per year.
