Pediatric Dental FAQs
At what age should my child see a dentist for the first time?
The American Dental Association recommends a child’s first dental visit by age 1, or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in. At Smile Center of Orlando, we welcome children as young as 2 or 3 for their first visit, focusing on a positive introduction to dental care.
Are you a pediatric specialist?
No โ Dr. Rezkalla and Dr. Altomare are general and family dentists. We treat patients of all ages, including children, in our Winter Park office. If your child requires specialized pediatric treatment such as advanced behavior management or hospital dentistry, we are happy to refer you to a board-certified pediatric specialist.
How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?
Talk about it positively โ avoid using words like “shot” or “pain.” Let them know the dentist will count their teeth and use a “tooth tickler” (the gentle polisher). Bringing a favorite toy or comfort item helps. Read children’s books about visiting the dentist before the appointment.
Do you accept dental insurance for kids?
Yes โ we accept most PPO dental insurance plans. We can help verify benefits before your child’s appointment. We also offer a dental membership plan for families without insurance, which provides discounts on cleanings, exams, and treatment.
What if my child is anxious or afraid of the dentist?
Dental anxiety is common in children, and we take it seriously. We use a “tell-show-do” approach โ explaining each step in age-appropriate language, showing the tools, and letting your child feel comfortable before any treatment. Parents are welcome to stay with younger children during the appointment.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Most children should visit every 6 months for routine cleanings and exams. Children with higher cavity risk may need more frequent visits. Your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your child’s individual needs.
