On a Path of Positivity

Early dental care is essential to a lifetime of hygiene that will be easy and less costly to maintain as they grow older.

There are too many patients who come to us later in life who are embarrassed because they’ve been avoiding seeing a dentist for too long. Seeing the dentist as a child and following the guidelines they provide can help avoid those future issues.

Dr. Patel and his kid-friendly team work to create a positive dental visit experience for your children so that they associate it with something rewarding and fun, and not scary or painful.

At your child’s first visit, if they have an older sibling that has already experienced the dentist, bring them along to help be a positive influence and a comfort to your child.

Grow and Know Together

As your child starts to learn more about their oral health, so will you! Cary Family Dental has knowledge that we share with you, without pressure. During your child’s cleanings and exams, our hygienists are there to answer your questions about healthy habits to practice with your child at home, help with what foods/activities to avoid, and just be a sounding board for you to improve your at-home dental hygiene know-how!

Dr. Niral Patel can be your partner to help you make the most informed decisions about your family’s dental needs. Whether it be any early-age restorative work, emergency care, or other important treatments that your child may need, Dr. Patel will walk you through his recommendations and ensure you feel informed and in control of each step.

We’ve got them covered with gentle cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and more for children of all ages.

Kids' Dentistry FAQs You Can Use

1. What age is best for a first visit?
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Dental Association recommend early dental care to begin at around age one. It’s essential after they start getting their baby teeth.

2. How often should I brush my child’s teeth?
You can help your baby by wiping their gums following feeding with a damp washcloth to help keep bacteria from hanging around. Children who have their teeth should be brushing them twice a day for two minutes. (And don’t forget to floss.)

3. Do you recommend fluoride?
Fluoride helps protect teeth (young and old) from harm so they can stay strong. Fluoride treatments up until your teenage years can help with proper enamel development.
