Sophias (18 mo) first dental visit! Info Highlights: Teeth are spongy-porous teeth when they come in (Dr Bree used microscope glasses to look at Sophias teeth) 20% of children incur 80% of cavities due to genetics and diet. Speed of infection is much faster due to vulnerability of teeth which is why APA now advises dental care starting age 1. Although baby teeth fall out, the habits and health of baby teeth set the lifelong destiny of adult teeth. Overview: Teeth are spongy and porous, and the tooth nerves are closer to the surface - baby teeth have substantially less protection. Did you know not all plaque is the same? Some plaque types are more damaging, so if a parent has a propensity for cavities, its more important to avoid sharing spit via utensils and cups. Lifelong plaque type is established by the time we are 2 years old. Brushing baby teeth at least once a day substantially lowers cavity risk, especially at night when saliva production lessens to protect teeth. Brushing twice a day is recommended. If baby still wakes during the night for breastfeeding, get baby used to falling asleep after a quick swab over teeth from a toothbrush by the bedside (cant say Ive tried this one) Adult teeth form in the gums behind baby teeth, which is why infections or cavities in baby teeth affect the formation and health of adult teeth. Ideally offer meals and milk/juice at scheduled times; Grazing and frequent sipping increase cavity factors. No more than 1/4 cup of juice a day. The risk of cavities from juice is the same *even if you dilute the juice with water! Flossing begins around age 4 (when teeth are closer together). Just water to brush teeth until age 2 then only a tiny smear of toothpaste. 1 in 3 babies have a tether or low-lying skin underneath their upper lip and gum line between their two font teeth - this area is sensitive so take care to brush around it. If it ever rips it will bleed profusely so dont panic, apply pressure and wait for it to heal. I learned the optimal way to brush Sophias teeth -it doesnt take any more time than I spend now but the technique will require Dads help. "Painting" fluoride on babys teeth every 6 months lower risk of cavities by HALF. For the fluoride-phobic: The younger the child, the less fluoride content is used. Non-pediatric dentists only receive 2 weeks of pediatric teeth and temperament training. Lastly - its the most beautiful doctors office Ive ever been in. The waiting room offers a spacious play area with a mini slide and the rooms are jungle-themed. *Ask about their special first-time client rate for 12-18 mo old!

Not the most pleasant experience,,,when they said sedation I totally thouhgt sleeping the child completely, I could hear my child screaming from the waiting area..I could tell you one thing, I felt like I faild my kid, he trusted that I was going to take him somewere safe, and he ended up strap in a chair. I dont spoil my kids to what ever they whant so I know for a fact that this was the worst desition I have made for my child he had a big bruised in his left cheek after he came out of the opratory, when he would try to sleep on the way home he would wake up crying scared. I understand when a child is scared because all the things around them, I understand when they cry for the first pinch to get numb, but I am not ok when the child crys trough out the whole precedure. I did exactly what they said "talk preatty about Dr. Bob" but out of the nowhere my child says "it hurt, I was crying mommy and dr. didnt see me" This people said he wouldnt remember-I know for a fact that every person takes anesthetic differently, why in the world he didnt stop and gave him more anesthetic?. Nitrous didn"t help, my son was crying how would he breath and relax if hes crying!!!! -So if you are reading this trying to find somewhere to take your child to the dentis I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE asck: could I be present in the room with my child?.-Many places out there let you be with your child trought out the entired procedure because it reinforces your child that he is safe. It also lets you see that your child is ok and that if you need to hold your child to be still you are there to help. we took my niece to PRIMARY DENTAL she is 3 and they did nitrous and local anesthetic-her treatment was one baby root canal,3 stainless steel crowns and no need to STRAP, mom was there all the time and the doctor would talk to the child, and the mom -witch made the child feel safe and comfortable.DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD TO KIDS DENTAL(and if you are writing good comments write why we should take our child here with Dr. Bob and convince people that strapping,board or using the so called papoose boards is ok for your child)

My two children have seen both Dr. Brie and Dr. Bob and in every single visit, from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, the whole staff makes it their priority to create an atmosphere of kindness, joy, excitement, and peace. I have never had a negative experience with any member of the staff at All Kids Dental; it has been a wonderful experience that I look forward to every 6 months! Dr. Brie has taken care of my daughter a few times and has such a pleasant personality. She makes her feels welcomed and at ease, explaining every step of the way, as my daughter can be very inquisitive. We appreciate the time she spends and the happy energy she gives each visit. The hygienists educate my 6-year-old daughter so well and always make it a point applaud her in how clean her teeth are at every visit. When I mention she has an appointment in a week, she counts down every single day until the moment she walks in the doors of what she calls "the castle". The playroom is so much fun for her and loves to pretend she is in a jungle castle. If you havent been there yet, youll be amazed with the jungle play area! My son, the 2-year-old, has only had two appointments, and both were with Dr. Bob. Our last visit, Dr. Bob had 5 children come in all at once, so we waited only for an additional five minutes (if that) before he saw my son. He gave us all the attention and patience as if we were the only folks in the building. I know he did that for every child in there and I find that to be a very great quality to project. Im grateful we get to be patients at All Kids Dental for so many reasons! One other touch they offer is a reminder email a week, and also a day or two before the scheduled appointment. Lord knows I need reminders!! ~Grateful customer~

My daughter (now 6) and infant son (now 18 mos) have both been to All Kids Dental. We had to have fairly major tooth work done on my daughter when she was just over 2.5 yrs old as a result of weak enamel. Both Drs worked on her (together) and they handled the procedure very professionally explaining and showing me the problem areas and walking me through the procedure before it occurred. They have handled all of her visits before and since professionally and effectively, too. She likes going to the dentist and that makes it a lot easier for me to schedule her regular appointments. My son has only been there once when he was just over 1 year old. I was somewhat surprised for it to be suggested that I stop nursing at night when my son was just one year old (this is because the natural sugars in milk are bad for their teeth, especially when the milk "sits" on the teeth for hours). While I understand the reasoning, it was not something I wanted to hear nor follow at that time. Additionally, my son was very opposed to the exam; therefore, it was not a very pleasant experience for either of us. (I had to hold his arms and legs while the Dr. opened his mouth to examine.) Although I think that the current recommendation to get babies in as early as 1 year sounds great, I believe it is too young for many of them to cooperate and not be upset by the exam -- at least that was the case for my son. I am curious and somewhat concerned as to how follow-up exams will go for him. The Drs. are very thorough and very "no nonsense," although perhaps slightly overzealous (at times) when it comes to tooth care. The attendants/assistants are very good with the children. The facility is very nice, clean, and kid friendly.
