Have you ever noticed which side your child prefers when they chew? Just like being right or left handed, some people naturally favor one side of their mouth when eating! Using both sides helps distribute the work of chewing, but having a preferred side isn’t necessarily a problem. If your child suddenly changes how they chew or mentions pain or discomfort, that’s a good time to let us know!

Toothaches can happen for a number of reasons in children! Tooth pain may be caused by a cavity, food stuck between the teeth, an injury, or irritation around the tooth.

Did your child’s new permanent front teeth come in with little bumps along the edges? Those bumps are called mamelons, and they’re a normal part of newly erupted permanent teeth! They often become less noticeable over time as the teeth naturally wear from everyday biting and chewing.

Canker sores may be small, but they can be pretty uncomfortable! These little sores can appear inside the lips, cheeks, or elsewhere in the mouth and usually heal on their own. If your child has a sore that isn't healing, keeps coming back, or is making it difficult to eat or drink, give us a call so we can take a look!

Every dental visit doesn't have to look the same to be a success! For some kids, sitting in the chair is a big step. For others, it's opening wide, taking an X-ray, or making it through their first cleaning. We love celebrating every bit of progress because small wins can help build confidence for future visits!

Noticing spaces between your child’s baby teeth? That can actually be a good thing! Those little gaps often leave extra room for larger permanent teeth to come in later. Every smile develops differently, and a little spacing can be completely normal.

Got a wiggly tooth? As exciting as it can be, there’s usually no need to rush it! Baby teeth that are naturally becoming loose are best left to fall out when they’re ready. If a tooth becomes loose because of an injury, is painful, or you have concerns about how it’s coming out, give us a call!
