Creating Positive Dental Experiences for Children:
Dr. Leslie Carpenter and our team believe that early dental experiences shape how children feel about dental care for life. We work hard to make each visit positive, comfortable, and even fun! Many children who were once afraid of the dentist now look forward to their appointments with us.
We explain treatments in ways kids can understand. We use simple language and avoid scary words. We show them the tools we'll use and let them touch and feel them first. We use the "tell-show-do" approach—we tell them what we're going to do, show them how it works, and then do the treatment carefully.
When Should Your Child First Visit a Pediatric Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. These early visits help us catch problems before they start and get your child comfortable with dental check-ups.
During your child's first visit, we focus on getting to know them and helping them feel comfortable in our office. We'll check their teeth and gums, show them how to brush, and answer any questions you have about your child's dental development.
Tips for Parents from Our Pasadena Pediatric Dental Team:
- Help your child brush twice daily until they can tie their own shoes (usually around age 6)
- Use only a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste for children under 6
- Limit sugary drinks and snacks, especially between meals
- Schedule regular dental check-ups every six months
- Replace toothbrushes every 3-4 months or sooner if bristles are worn
- Make brushing fun with timer apps or songs that last two minutes
