Frequently Asked Questions
How old does my child need to be for their first dental visit?
daily DENTAL & bracesbar welcomes patients as young as six months old. The first visit is recommended as soon as initial teeth start to erupt — early visits help establish healthy habits and let us catch any developmental concerns right away.
Does insurance cover pediatric dental visits?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive pediatric care — cleanings, fluoride treatments, and exams — at little or no cost. Our Dublin, Gahanna, and Grove City offices accept a wide range of plans; call us or visit our Insurance & Financing page to confirm your coverage before scheduling.
What actually happens at a kids' dental appointment?
A typical visit includes a cleaning, fluoride application, and an exam where we check for cavities and assess tooth and jaw development. We also walk parents and kids through proper brushing and flossing technique — the whole appointment usually wraps up in about an hour.
Can you do fillings and extractions on baby teeth, or do I have to go to a specialist?
Our pediatric dentists handle fillings, extractions, and even root canal therapy for baby teeth right in our offices — no specialist referral needed for most cases. We also do restorative work for damaged teeth and assess alignment issues if you're concerned about how your child's bite is developing.
How do I prevent my toddler from getting cavities?
The biggest culprits are bottles at bedtime and frequent sugary snacks — both keep sugar in contact with teeth for long stretches. Start brushing as soon as teeth appear, aim for two minutes twice a day, and schedule regular cleanings at our Dublin, Gahanna, or Grove City office so we can apply sealants and fluoride before problems start.
