Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry that deals with infants, children and adolescents including those patients with special care needs. Back to top
No you don’t. However, a pediatric dentist attends a post graduate program after dental school for two to three years to learn more about the specific needs of young dental patients. Back to top
Yes because children develop plaque just like adults do and it must be removed on a daily basis so it does not lead to tooth decay. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush that will fit into the child’s mouth at least once a day to begin with when they are very young and at least twice a day by the time most of the baby teeth have erupted. Back to top
You should schedule an appointment around the first birthday so that we can check for good oral hygiene, cavities and any developmental or congenital abnormalities. Back to top
Baby teeth are very important because they serve many of the same purposes of adult teeth such as tearing and chewing food and helping the child speak properly. Additionally, they hold the place for adult teeth. If baby teeth are lost prematurely, an appliance called a space maintainer is needed to prevent the remaining teeth from shifting into the space of the lost tooth. Back to top
There is not much difference between the two habits and they only become a problem if the baby teeth start to get displaced or if the habit continues after the adult teeth have erupted. Back to top
Decay is not only caused by candy; it can be caused by most foods or liquids other than water that do not get removed from the surface of teeth. Infants and children are at the mercy of their parents. If a toddler is continuously given a bottle with almost anything other than water at bedtime, they will probably develop baby bottle caries, which is decay on the front teeth. Do not give a bottle with anything other than water and get in the habit of brushing your child’s teeth on a regular basis. Back to top
Children should visit a dentist every six months. We like to catch anything when it is small and by seeing the child every six months gives us the best chance to keep an eye out for any signs of early decay. Additionally, since teeth start coming and going, we like to have a history of each patients dental development. Back to top
Fluoridated toothpaste should not be used for children under age 2. After that time, parents should be in charge of dispensing the toothpaste and the amount to be used each time should not be bigger than the size of a pea. Make sure the children spit the toothpaste out instead of swallowing it. It is not dangerous if they swallow it once or twice but do not let it become a habit. Back to top
Baby teeth should be sealed if they have deep pits and fissures meaning that they will probably decay without a sealant. Read more about sealants. Back to top

Lynn Greer23 January 2024The Firehall Dentist has been a wonderful experience for me and my family for almost 30 years. From the very first day the renovated Firehall shone clean and bright. The always smiling and cheerful professional office staff provide the most supportive atmosphere making you feel like family every time you return. Dr. Stephen Dyment ( Steve) and Dr. Heidi Kunze are the kindest most thoughtful and professional dentists you could ever meet. Dr. Heidi Kunze (Heidi ) has the most infectious laugh. Although the office has changed, expanded and been updated many times since my first visit, the wonderful atmosphere has always remained. No matter where I move, I will always come back to the Firehall.
