Questions Parents Ask Us
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
We recommend a first visit by your child's first birthday or when their first tooth appears.
Early visits help prevent cavities and build a positive, fear-free relationship with the dentist.
Do you accept MassHealth and insurance?
Yes. We accept MassHealth and most major dental insurance plans, plus flexible in-office
payment options. Ask us when you book and we'll help you understand your coverage.
My child is nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely that's our specialty. Our office is built to feel calm and welcoming, and we
offer gentle techniques and sedation options for anxious children and kids with special needs.
How often should my child have a checkup?
Most children should visit every six months for a cleaning and exam. Regular visits let us
catch small issues early and keep your child's teeth strong and healthy.
Can you see my child for a dental emergency?
Yes. If your child has a toothache, chipped or knocked-out tooth, or other urgent need, call
us at (978) 587-3368 and we'll get them seen as quickly as
possible.
