FAQs

When should my child's first dental visit be?

By age 1 or within 6 months of first tooth eruption – early visits prevent 80% of childhood cavities!

Do stainless steel crowns hurt?

No discomfort during placement. Mild sensitivity for 1-2 days is normal. We provide kid-safe pain relief options.

Are baby teeth really important?

CRITICAL! They guide permanent teeth, affect speech development, and prevent costly orthodontic issues.
