What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry focuses on children's oral health from infancy through the teenage years. It involves a wide range of dental services, including the prevention and treatment of diseases of the teeth and gums and the maintenance of overall oral health. Our goal is to ensure a positive experience for your child, helping to establish a foundation of excellent dental habits that will last a lifetime.

When Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children go to the dentist by age one or within six months after the first tooth emerges. This early visit helps us guide parents in cavity prevention, ensuring proper oral development from the start.

How Can I Prepare My Child for Their First Dental Visit?

Talk to your child about what to expect in simple, positive terms. At Jensen Beach Smiles, we strive to make visits fun and stress-free. You can also read them books about going to the dentist or play games with dental themes to make them feel more comfortable.

What Are Sealants, and Does My Child Need Them?

Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They prevent tooth decay by shielding against bacteria and plaque. Sealants are often recommended for children, as they are highly effective in preventing cavities in the molars.

What Should I Do If My Child Has a Dental Emergency?

Jensen Beach Smiles offers emergency dental services. If your child has an emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe toothache, call our office immediately for guidance and prompt treatment.
