Why Baby Teeth Matter
Some parents wonder whether baby teeth need much attention because they fall out anyway. They do. Baby teeth help your child speak clearly and chew naturally. They also hold space and guide permanent teeth into position.
Cavities are the most common chronic disease of childhood in the United States. More than half of children aged 6 to 8 have had a cavity in at least one baby tooth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The good news is that most cavities are preventable. Regular checkups, good habits at home and protective treatments make a real difference.
When to start
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit no later than your child's first birthday.
Regular checkups
Many children benefit from a visit about every six months. We will recommend a schedule that fits your child.
Fluoride
Fluoride strengthens teeth and helps prevent decay.
Sealants
Thin protective coatings fill the deep grooves on back teeth, where food and bacteria hide.
According to the CDC, sealants on back teeth prevent about 80 percent of cavities. Fluoride varnish prevents about one-third of cavities in baby teeth. We will talk with you about what suits your child.
As you compare options, look for a pediatric dentist in Frisco, TX, who talks with you about prevention, not only treatment. That is how we work, because prevention keeps small problems small.

Healthy Habits at Home
What happens between visits matters just as much. These simple habits help protect your child’s teeth.
Start early
Clean your baby's gums with a soft, clean cloth. Begin brushing as soon as the first tooth appears.
Use the right amount of toothpaste
For children under three, use a smear of fluoride toothpaste about the size of a grain of rice. From ages three to six, use a pea-sized amount.
Brush twice a day
Brush morning and night, and help your child until they can brush well alone.
Clean between teeth
Start once two teeth touch, and do it daily.
Limit sugary drinks
Avoid putting your baby to bed with a bottle of juice or sweetened drinks, and never dip pacifiers in sugar or honey.
Remind your child to spit out toothpaste rather than swallow it. Children need help from an adult with brushing until they have the skills to do it alone.
Thumb sucking and pacifier use usually cause problems only if they continue for a long time. Most children stop on their own. If the habit continues past age three, ask us about next steps.

Helping Nervous Children Feel Safe
Many children feel nervous at the dentist, and many adults do too. We take that seriously. Comfort is one of our core principles.
Show and tell
We explain what we are doing before we do it.
Your presence
Parents of nervous children can stay in the room, which helps little ones settle.
Breaks when needed
If your child needs a moment, we pause.
Sedation when appropriate
Sedation is available for anxious patients. Ask which option may suit your child's treatment.
You can help too. Talk about the visit in a positive way, and avoid words that may sound scary. Tell us about any worries before you arrive, and we will plan the visit around your child.
We work with most major PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna and BCBS, and we file claims for out-of-network patients. Review insurance and payment details or ask our team to walk you through your coverage. Parents can also explore family and general dentistry for the whole household.
