Why Choose LP Dental for your Child?
Nurture your child's oral health in a warm and caring environment, where our gentle approach will create positive dental experiences and healthy smiles for years to come.
At LP Dental, we understand that a positive dental experience during childhood is essential for establishing lifelong oral health habits. We are committed to creating a warm, friendly, and comfortable environment for your child. In this section, we will introduce you to the importance of pediatric dentistry, explain our process, and address common questions to help you prioritize your child's oral health.

What happens during my child’s first visit?
Our process begins with a gentle and friendly introduction to our dental team, creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere. We take the time to build trust and establish a strong rapport with your child, helping them feel at ease during their dental visits.
During your child's dental examination, we will thoroughly assess their oral health, including teeth, gums, and jaw development. We will address any concerns you may have and provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices specific to your child's age and dental development.

At what age is it appropriate to use toothpaste to clean my child’s teeth?
Once your child has a few teeth, you can start using toothpaste on the brush. Use only a tiny amount for each cleaning, and be sure to choose toothpaste without fluoride for children under two, as too much fluoride can be dangerous for very young children. Always have your child rinse and spit out toothpaste after brushing, to begin a lifelong habit he’ll need when he graduates to fluoride toothpaste.
Children naturally want to swallow toothpaste after brushing, and swallowing too much fluoride toothpaste can cause teeth to stain. You should brush your child’s teeth for him until he is ready to take on that responsibility himself, which usually happens by age six or seven.
