Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

A pediatric dentist is specially trained to monitor and treat a child’s teeth.

Not only does a pediatric dentist graduate from an accredited dental school, but this dental specialty requires two to three years of extra, focused training on the complexities of a child’s growing and developing teeth, jaw, and face. With child-sized equipment and chairs, friendly office décor, and an engaging environment, a pediatric dental office helps children feel welcome and at ease. Everyone working at a pediatric dental office is experienced at communicating with children in an age-appropriate, comforting manner. Our patients and their parents love visiting Firefly Pediatric Dentistry, and we know you will too!

We are so happy at Firefly Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Chafin takes the time to listen to concerns, answer our questions, all while providing the best care for our two sons. His staff is so kind and our boys look forward to the “prize” at the end of the visit. We couldn’t be happier with the care we are receiving.

We love our trips to the dentist. The staff is so helpful and kind. All three kids including the toddler feel safe and cared for at their level. They are also so quick and efficient and happy to answer any questions.

I brought my kiddos 4 & 2 yo, for their first checkup and can’t say enough good things about our experience at Firefly. Dr. Justin and his staff were so kind and reassuring to the boys. They now connect joy and excitement with going to the dentist which is what I was hoping for.

FAQs

When to Schedule Your Child’s First Appointment?

The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry both recommend that a dentist should see a baby by the age of one. An appointment at this young age is beneficial because it allows us to monitor important milestones such as teething and proper facial development.

When Will the First Baby Tooth Appear?

Every child is unique, which means there is not a specific timeframe for the eruption of the first baby tooth. Most babies begin teething between four to twelve months of age. Your child should have 20 primary teeth (ten on the top and ten on the bottom) by the age of three.

How Do Dental Sealants Prevent Decay?

A dental sealant is an almost unnoticeable film that is easily placed on the chewing surface of a child’s back molars that provides a protective barrier. A sealant is extraordinarily effective and helps keep teeth healthy and cavity-free. A dental sealant lasts many years but must eventually be replaced when it’s chipped or worn down.

What are the Best Types of Toothpaste for Children?

The type of toothpaste you select for your child depends on several factors, including the age of your child and whether your child can spit out toothpaste after brushing. During your child’s appointment, we can recommend a specific type and amount of toothpaste to meet your child’s oral health needs.
