As far as Children’s Dentistry, we believe in the importance of proper dental care for your young child. This includes starting preventative care at home as soon as the first tooth erupts, and bringing your child in for his or her first formal dental visit by 6 months of age.
Frequently Asked Questions
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits build trust and allow Dr. Mehta to identify and prevent problems before they become serious - including early decay, thumb-sucking habits, and bite development issues.
Dr. Mehta uses 'tell-show-do' techniques, gentle language, and a welcoming environment to build trust with anxious children. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for children who need extra help relaxing, and appointments are never rushed.
Yes. Oxford Smiles uses digital X-rays that emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film. X-ray frequency is determined by cavity risk - lower-risk kids may only need X-rays every 18–24 months.
Yes. Sealants are a highly effective preventive treatment - a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back molars where most childhood cavities form. They are typically recommended for children as soon as their first permanent molars.
Role-play 'dentist visits' at home: count teeth with a toothbrush, lie them back, and use positive language. Read a children's dental storybook. Avoid using words like 'hurt,' 'drill,' or 'needle.' Arrive early so your child can explore the waiting room calmly before meeting the team.
