Why Age 14 May Be Too Late for the First Orthodontic Visit

Many parents think they should wait until all of their child’s permanent teeth are in before seeing an orthodontist. But an early orthodontic evaluation, often around age 7, can help identify developing concerns while the jaw and teeth are still growing. For some children, early Phase 1 treatment may be recommended, while others may simply need to be monitored until they’re ready for Phase 2 orthodontics. Dr. Christensen explains why getting information early can help families understand their options and plan treatment at the right time for their child. 🤍

Your Child Knocked Out a Tooth? Do This Immediately

Summer means bikes, sports, playgrounds—and unfortunately, dental injuries. If a permanent tooth gets knocked out, what you do in the first few minutes can make a huge difference. Time is critical. Handle the tooth carefully by the crown, avoid scrubbing it, and get to a dentist as quickly as possible. In many cases, acting fast can improve the chances of saving the tooth long-term.

The most important thing is to stay calm and know what to do before an emergency happens. Because when it comes to a knocked-out permanent tooth, every minute matters.

Have you ever been prepared for a dental emergency like this?

Mouth Breathing & Snoring: Don’t Ignore It

Many parents think snoring is harmless, but in children it can sometimes be a sign of an airway issue. Loud snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep, teeth grinding, and frequent tossing and turning may indicate that a child isn't breathing as efficiently as they should during sleep. Since proper oxygen intake is essential for healthy growth, development, and quality sleep, these signs are worth paying attention to. Early evaluation can help identify potential concerns and guide families toward the right specialists when needed.

The question is… does your child sleep quietly, or are there signs that something may be affecting their breathing?

Why Babies Get Cavities So Early

Many parents are surprised to learn that babies can develop cavities as early as their first year of life. One of the most common reasons is milk sitting on the teeth overnight after a baby falls asleep nursing or feeding. During sleep, saliva production decreases, allowing sugars and acids to stay on the teeth much longer. The good news? A simple habit—wiping or brushing your baby's teeth after nighttime feedings—can make a huge difference. Breastfeeding is encouraged and beneficial, but protecting those new teeth is just as important.

Have you started brushing your baby's teeth yet?

One Missing Baby Tooth Can Create Big Problems

When a baby tooth is lost too early, many parents wonder if a space maintainer is really necessary. The answer often comes down to protecting space for the permanent tooth that’s still developing underneath. Without that space, nearby teeth can shift, creating crowding and potentially leading to more complex orthodontic treatment in the future. A simple space maintainer today can help prevent much bigger problems tomorrow. The question is… are you protecting your child’s future smile before issues begin?

Before You Give Up Breastfeeding, Watch This

If nursing feels painful, exhausting, and nothing seems to help, there may be a reason many parents never think to check: lip or tongue tie. Some babies struggle to latch properly, gain weight, or feed efficiently because of oral restrictions that often go unnoticed. At Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, families work closely with lactation consultants and specialists to evaluate infants and, when needed, perform gentle CO2 laser releases designed to improve feeding and comfort. Breastfeeding shouldn’t feel impossible. It should feel natural, connected, and joyful. Have you ever heard of lip and tongue tie before?

Better Breathing Starts Here

If your child has crowded teeth, mouth breathing, or a narrow palate, expansion may be an important part of treatment—not just for the smile, but for breathing too. Traditional metal expanders are still effective, but newer Invisalign-based expansion options are now available for many younger patients. They’re removable, more comfortable, easier to clean, and often much easier for kids to tolerate. Orthodontics today is about more than straight teeth—it’s about airway, function, and healthy development. Could your child’s breathing issues be connected to their palate?
