Is your child meeting the tooth fairy on time?

While some children may start to lose baby teeth as early as 4 years old, 6-7 is common. Most baby teeth should be gone around age 12. Every child loses teeth at their own pace, but if you are worried, give us a call.

If your child is complaining of a mouth or jaw ache and is experiencing pain while chewing, then they might be suffering from a gum abscess.

A gum abscess is a potentially serious tooth infection - and if you don't know the signs, it can spiral out of control quickly.

A gum abscess in children can be a concerning situation for parents. Luckily, it can be treated with a visit to the dentist.

Frequent headaches may not always start where you think. 🧠🦷

Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or tension in the muscles around the jaw can sometimes contribute to headaches and facial discomfort. If your child is also experiencing jaw soreness, worn teeth, or morning headaches, it may be worth mentioning at their next dental visit.
