Pediatric Dental FAQs
When should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Dental Association recommends a child’s first dental visit by age one, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Starting early helps build comfort and allows us to monitor development from the beginning.
How often should children see the dentist?
Most children benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. Dr. Demetriou may recommend a slightly adjusted schedule depending on your child’s individual needs and cavity risk.
My child is nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely. We work with anxious children regularly and know how to create a calm, low-pressure experience. Let us know ahead of time if your child has dental anxiety and we will prepare accordingly.
Do you offer dental sealants for children?
Yes — dental sealants are one of the most effective preventive tools available for children. They are applied quickly and painlessly to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth and can significantly reduce the risk of cavities.
How far is the office from Peabody?
Our North Andover office is approximately 20 to 25 minutes from Peabody. Many Peabody families find the drive well worth it for consistent, trusted care in one familiar place.
