FAQs: Children’s Dentistry
Finally, you have time off from work and your children are out of school for a spell. You also have time to focus on those millions of details that seem to fall through the cracks during your usual very busy schedule. If one of those details includes the dental care your child receives, we hope you will take the time to give us a call if you are ready to schedule a visit for children’s dentistry. In the meantime, we would like to answer some questions that might give you a boost of motivation to contact us.
Reasons To Schedule Immediate Care
When your child tells you that he or she is suffering from a toothache, you might find yourself pulled in several different directions. Contacting us immediately might feel like an overreaction but waiting too long can make you feel like you’re not protecting your child. The good news is that watching for common signs of problems and calling us right away is always a good move. From there, we can assist you in determining whether your child needs an emergency dental visit (which we will plan with urgency) or if a regular appointment will do.
Abscesses: How Much Do You Know?
If you have learned details about root canal treatment then you have likely heard the term “abscess” mentioned at least once or twice. As you know, we suggest root canals for patients who are suffering from infected teeth or seriously damaged dental pulp (the tissue that lines the interior of a tooth). Unfortunately, if you neglect to visit us for restorative treatment, serious side effects may occur. By learning more about an abscess and related consequences, you will feel more enlightened regarding the significance of quickly addressing infections.
