Frequently asked questions
Do baby teeth need treatment if they will fall out?
Yes. A cavity in a baby tooth can hurt, become infected and damage the permanent tooth below. Baby teeth also hold space for the permanent teeth.
When is the first visit?
As soon as the first teeth appear, and by the first birthday at the latest. The visit is mostly about advice for parents and getting the child used to the dentist.
What if my child is scared?
Talk about the dentist positively, without mentioning pain. At the clinic we explain each step in simple words and go at your child’s pace.
