My Children are Frightened of the Dentist

Most children are afraid of the dentist. It is because we go into their mouths and touch their teeth, which can feel like an invasion of personal space. Also, the chair can look big and scary to a little kid. We understand this and can promise them full comfort with their experience. Children usually become more comfortable and used to the environment as they grow up. But if your child is still nervous about going to the dentist, ask us about some techniques for making the experience less scary.

Try praising your child after an appointment. Let them know they were very brave. Don’t worry if they act out with fear during an appointment. Our dentists work with children almost every day and know just how to placate them.

Is My Child Old Enough to See a Dentist

Children as young as 2 years old can visit our dental office and learn good hygiene habits that will last them a lifetime. We recommend visiting the dentist by age 1 or earlier if possible to identify potential problems and address them early. Try to bring your child to see us within six months of the first eruption (a tooth coming in).

My Teenager is Too Busy for a Dentist Appointment

Teens are notoriously busy, and it can be difficult to get them to schedule time for anything other than schoolwork and socializing. But oral health is just as important for teens as it is for younger children. Teens need regular dental checkups to catch developing problems early and prevent them from becoming more serious.

Thankfully, today’s teens seem quite keen on looking strong and healthy. This goes for their teeth as well. Placerville Dentistry will keep the tradition alive by providing the most professional care in El Dorado County.

What About the Elderly

Our teeth become more susceptible to problems like gum disease and tooth decay as we age. Our dentists are experienced in providing quality care for elderly patients and can help them maintain their oral health for years to come.

We encourage everyone in your family—from the very young to the very old—to visit our office for a dental checkup. We can help you achieve and maintain optimal teeth for life.

We offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your busy teens, such as Saturday appointments and early morning hours before school starts. Call us at (530) 317-0378 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
