However, particularly if this is your first child, you may find that you have a long list of questions that you would love to have answered. Fortunately, we are ready to provide you with the information you seek. Keep in mind, if you have additional inquiries or simply feel uneasy, we are always happy to schedule a dental checkup for your child.
How To Handle Your Child’s Toothache
When your child comes to you with a toothache, do you know what to say and what to do? Or do you find that you feel frantic and a bit torn regarding the severity of the situation?
