We understand that choosing a pediatric dentist in Loveland for your family is a big decision – and one that should never be taken lightly. Here are a few common questions our new patients sometimes ask before joining our family! If you don’t see yours listed below, feel free to give us a call or use our webform and we’ll be happy to respond as soon as we can!
You should begin caring for your baby’s oral health as soon as they’re born. While they may not have any teeth just yet, you can keep their mouth clean and get them comfortable with oral hygiene by gently wiping their mouth with a damp cloth or baby tooth wipes after each feeding.
Once their first tooth erupts, or by their first birthday (whichever occurs sooner) it is time to bring them to their first visit with a pediatric dentist in Loveland. Although they may not have much to be cleaned, this appointment will serve as an important introduction to their new dentist. This will not only help them to be more comfortable with having dentist’s work in their mouth, but it will allow Dr. Matt and Dr. Katie to get a closer look at their developing smile to ensure it’s growing on track!
After your child’s first birthday, or following the eruption of their first tooth (whichever comes first) you should begin bringing them to a pediatric dentist in Loveland every six months for their regular checkups and cleanings. While this may seem unnecessary if they only have a few teeth, it is important to monitor their oral health as they grow to ensure that their mouth stays healthy and strong. It can also help alert us to emerging dental problems that are developing below the surface of the gums, such as bite issues or impactions. By catching these early, treatment can often be much less involved and much more affordable.
Yes! Although it’s true that baby teeth were designed to fall out naturally, losing them too soon can wreak havoc on your child’s growing smile. That’s because in addition to allowing them to enjoy a full diet and speak clearly, primary teeth act as important placeholders for your kiddo’s permanent teeth. Thus, if they become too damaged or decayed or fall out too soon, it can cause a variety of dental problems including crowding that could end up requiring lengthy and expensive treatment later.
If you’re searching for a safe, comfortable lip and tongue tie treatment, the soft-tissue laser is an ideal solution. Instead of relying on a scalpel which severs the lingual frenulum and leaves behind an incision that must be closed with sutures, the soft-tissue laser carefully vaporizes this excess tissue, cauterizing as it works. This means that your child’s treatment will not only be much faster and more efficient, but it will also be a lot more comfortable. Furthermore, because the incision is automatically closed during the procedure, it is less likely to become infected during the healing process, resulting in a shorter recovery period and a happier baby!
