FAQ

When should I take my child to the dentist for the first time?

It’s important to bring your child to the dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than his or her first birthday. The earlier you establish a relationship with your family dentist, the better off your children’s oral health will be.

How often does my child need to see a family dentist?

A check-up is recommended every six months in order to prevent cavities and other common dental problems. However, your Renton family dentist can tell you when and how often your child should visit based on their personal oral health.

What are sealants and how do they work?

Sealants are applied by dentists to prevent cavities and provide effective protection for your molars and premolars for many years. Sealants work by filling in the crevasses on chewing surfaces that can trap food particles and plaque.
