Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! When used correctly, fluoride is a safe and highly effective way to prevent tooth decay. It works by strengthening the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to the acid attacks that cause cavities. While there is a lot of information circulating online, major health organizations—including the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the ADA—continue to support fluoride as a cornerstone of preventive dental care. During your visit, Dr. Vest or Dr. Tuft will discuss your child’s specific needs to ensure they are getting the right amount to protect their smile safely.
-
We follow the “First Visit by First Birthday” rule! The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist when their first tooth appears, or no later than their first birthday. These early visits are designed to be quick and comfortable, helping your child get used to the office environment while allowing us to monitor development and give you tips on early oral hygiene.

This is a common question! While baby teeth do eventually fall out, they serve several critical roles in the meantime. They act as "space maintainers" for permanent teeth; if a baby tooth is lost too early due to decay, the surrounding teeth can shift, leading to crowding or alignment issues later. Furthermore, untreated cavities can cause significant pain and infection (abscesses), which can impact a child’s ability to eat, speak, and sleep. Keeping baby teeth healthy ensures a healthy foundation for their adult smile.
