FAQ
Are baby teeth important if they fall out?
Yes. They support chewing, speech, and guide permanent teeth. Untreated decay can cause pain and infection.
What if my child is afraid?
Many children do well with short, positive visits. Tell the team about anxiety beforehand so the approach can be adapted.
Do kids need X‑rays?
Only when clinically needed. Dentists use the minimum imaging needed for diagnosis and safety.
