1.  Which tooth paste should I use?  When you enter the tooth paste isle at the grocery store, you are quickly overwhelmed by the choices available.  We recommend any tooth paste which has been approved by the American Dental Association.  However we would highly recommend Crest ProHealth or Colgate Total.  If you have sensitive teeth, then Sensodyne is a great one to try.

2.  What age should I bring in my children?  While we are happy to see kids of any age, we usually recommend that you bring in your children between 2 and 3 years of age.  We ask that you bring your child with you at your cleaning appointment and have them observe.  We offer to count their teeth and if they are cooperative, we may even have them jump up in the chair or sit in your lap for a quick exam.  At their next appointment we will allow more time to perform a cleaning and a more thorough exam.  If your child is apprehensive, then we take it slowly, not wanting to give them a fear of the dentist.  We are also happy to see your child at an earlier age if you have a particular concern.
