Stellar Smiles in Rockaway Beach
Visiting the dentist can feel a bit overwhelming for kids. At Rockaway Beach Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, we get it and are here to make dental visits a breeze. Dr. Nieku Manshadi and our friendly team specialize in kid-focused care that meets your child's unique needs.
Keeping Your Child's Smile Bright
Starting dental care early sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy teeth. We recommend bringing your child in when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday.
Early visits help your little one get comfortable with the dental environment and allow us to catch any potential issues early on.
Dr. Manshadi explains everything in a way that's easy for kids to understand, making sure they know what to expect during their visit.
What to Expect at the First Visit
We tailor your child's first appointment to their age, personality, and comfort level. Some kids might need a little time to get used to the new surroundings, while others may be ready for a gentle exam, cleaning, and fluoride treatment right away.
During this visit, Dr. Manshadi will:
- Examine your child's teeth and gums.
- Discuss brushing and flossing techniques.
- Share tips on nutrition for healthy teeth.
- Answer any questions you have about your child's oral health.
We focus on prevention and education, empowering you with the knowledge to help your child maintain a healthy smile at home.
The Importance of Early Dental Care
Healthy baby teeth are essential for proper chewing, speech development, and holding space for permanent teeth.
Ignoring cavities in baby teeth can lead to pain, infection, and problems with adult teeth down the road.
We understand that a child's first dental visit can be nerve-wracking for parents, too.
Dr. Manshadi is here to address your concerns and ensure both you and your child have a comfortable, positive experience.
