Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What should I do if my child is afraid of going to the dentist?
It is common for children to be afraid of going to the dentist. Dr. Raut and her team use a variety of techniques, including storytelling, distraction, and gentle reassurance, to make dental visits less scary. Our clinic also offers a child-friendly environment with stimulating activities to reduce anxiety.

How often should my child go to the dentist?
We recommend that your child visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and teeth cleaning. These visits are important to prevent dental problems and ensure the health of your child’s teeth and gums.

At what age should my child start using toothpaste?
As soon as your child has their first tooth, you can start using a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. When the child turns 3 years old, increase this amount to a pea-sized amount. Always supervise your child when brushing their teeth, make sure they use the right amount of toothpaste, and teach them not to swallow it.

Can dental problems affect a child’s overall health?
Yes, dental health affects your overall health. Problems such as untreated tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and difficulty eating, speaking, and learning. Good oral hygiene is essential to your child’s overall health.

How can I protect my child’s teeth during sports?
Mouthguards are a great way to protect your child’s teeth during physical activity and sports. At Dr. Raut’s clinic, we can help you customize a mouthguard that fits your child comfortably and protects their teeth effectively.
