The timing for addressing wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can vary from person to person.

• Age – Wisdom teeth typically start to emerge in the late teens or early twenties. Around this age, it’s a good idea to consult with a dentist to evaluate the development and alignment of your child’s wisdom teeth.
• Impaction – Wisdom teeth often become impacted, meaning they don’t have enough space to emerge properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various dental problems, including pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
• Professional Evaluation – Every child’s dental situation is unique, and it’s crucial to consult with a dental professional for a thorough evaluation.

At Esteem Dental, Dr. Jordan and Dr. Matthew are experienced in assessing and addressing wisdom teeth concerns.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises parents to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jordan Jones as soon as their child’s first tooth appears, or at the latest, by your child’s first birthday. It’s important to start dental care early in order to prevent any potential problems and ensure that your child has a healthy smile. We begin seeing patients when their first tooth erupts.

If you’re looking to straighten your child’s teeth, there are several effective options available, tailored to their unique needs.

• Invisalign® – Invisalign is a modern and discreet method of straightening teeth using custom-made, removable aligners. Virtually invisible and comfortable, they are an attractive choice for older children and teens.
• Traditional Braces – Traditional braces consist of brackets, wires, and bands, which work together to align your child’s teeth.
• Mouth Guards/Night Guards – These appliances are crucial for protecting your child’s teeth during physical activities or addressing issues like teeth grinding (bruxism) during sleep.

The choice of the right method depends on your child’s age, specific orthodontic needs, and personal preferences. Dr. Jordan and Dr. Matthew are here to assess your child’s case and recommend the most suitable treatment option.

Tooth pain in children can be distressing for both the child and their parents.

• Rinse the Mouth – Have your child rinse their mouth with warm water. This can help remove any debris or particles that might be causing the discomfort.
• Floss Gently – If your child is old enough, and you suspect that food or an object might be stuck between their teeth, you can gently floss their teeth to dislodge any foreign material. Be careful not to be too forceful to avoid injury.
• Contact a Pediatric Dentist – If the pain persists or worsens, it’s essential to contact a pediatric dentist like Dr. Jordan or Dr. Matthew at Esteem Dental. They specialize in children’s dental care and can assess and treat the cause of the tooth pain.

Timely professional evaluation is crucial to determine the root of the issue and provide the appropriate treatment.

Knowing how to respond promptly can make all the difference in saving the tooth.

• Handle the Tooth Carefully – Pick up the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface) and avoid touching the root. Handling it gently is crucial to preserve the delicate tissues.
• Keep the Tooth Moist – If re-insertion isn’t possible, place the tooth in a container of milk, or if that’s unavailable, use your child’s saliva to keep it moist.
• Seek Immediate Dental Care – Contact a pediatric dentist like Dr. Jordan or Dr. Matthew at Esteem Dental immediately. 

Time is of the essence in saving the tooth, and professional evaluation is necessary to assess whether re-implantation is possible.
