We put together this guide to some of our most asked questions to get you familiar with our practice before you make your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

We get a lot of questions but here are some of the more common ones. We always take the time to sit down with our patients and review any questions or concerns they may have.

What should I clean my baby’s teeth with?

A small, soft bristled toothbrush is best. Brush your infant’s teeth once before bedtime to get started on great oral hygiene.

When should I take my child in for their first checkup?

A first birthday is a perfect time for a first dentist visit. Dr. Payam will check for any early signs of decay and review with you good dental practices you can follow with your child.

What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a family dentist?

Pediatric dentists go to 2 or 3 years of additional schooling to specialize in children’s teeth. They are limited to practicing on children, infants through adolescents and they are experts in their field.

How often should I take my child to the dentist?

You should schedule a checkup every 6 months. This ensures any problems are caught early on. Dr. Payam will advise you if you need to come more or less often based on your personal situation.

Dentistry for Fredericksburg Kids Of All Ages

More than a Pediatric Dentist

Just because our office specializes in pediatric dentistry, it does not mean we only take care of small children. Dr. Payam offers dentistry services for kids of all ages around the Fredericksburg area. Some of the other services that we provide along with pediatric dentistry care are highlighted below.  If you need to use any of these services, please contact Dr. Payam and set up an appointment today.

Teen Dentistry

As teens are growing up there are important aspects to consider with their teeth in order to keep them healthy and safe.  Two specifically are orthodontics and the use of athletic mouth guards if they participate in sports.  Orthodontics can correct teeth that are crooked and misaligned to prevent further dental issues in the future.  Dr. Payam can help advise you and your teen on the best orthodontic options to fix any problems.

If a sport can be considered a “contact” sport, then all participants should and often must wear a mouth guard.  Dr. Payam is able to provide a special athletic mouth guard that is customized with a mold to perfectly fit the athletes mouth.  It is a much higher quality and will provide more protection than a store bought mouth guard. Check out this Athletic Mouth Guard video to learn more!

Emergency Situations

Accidents happen regardless of how careful people are and teeth can get damaged or broken. These emergency situations often require immediate care and Dr. Payam is here to help.  Our office does its best to help in emergency situations as quickly as possible.  Some of the common accidents that we assist with are:

  • Broken teeth
  • Teeth fractures
  • Abscesses
  • Knocked-out tooth
  • Dental sports injuries

If need to make an emergency appointment, contact Dr. Payam right away.

Digital X-Rays

We also offer digital x-rays in order to get a better look at your child’s teeth.  Our digital x-ray machine does not require those uncomfortable bite-wings so the process is nice and easy.  These x-rays can identify potential problems or issues with a child’s teeth or teeth development.  It is an extremely useful machine for us to provide the best care to our patients. For more information view our Digital X-Ray page.
