Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child have their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting or by their first birthday — whichever comes first. Early visits establish a dental home, allow Dr. Guerra to monitor development, and create positive associations with dental care before any treatment is ever needed.

It’s one of the things we do best. Dr. Guerra’s entire approach is built around making anxious patients comfortable — patients of every age. We explain everything before doing it, never rush, take breaks whenever needed, and offer sedation options for patients who want additional support. Anxious adults and nervous children both leave feeling genuinely cared for.

Yes. Smilestry offers orthodontic evaluation and treatment including Invisalign for teens and adults. For younger children, Dr. Guerra monitors dental development and can identify orthodontic concerns early — recommending the right time to begin treatment for the best outcomes and most efficient results.

Dental fear in children is completely normal, and Dr. Guerra is experienced at working with anxious young patients. We use a tell-show-do approach, go at the child’s pace, and focus on making the experience positive above all else. Many children who arrive nervous leave excited to come back — because how a child feels during a dental visit matters as much as the clinical outcome.

In many cases, yes. We do our best to coordinate same-day family appointments so you’re not making multiple trips. Contact our office and let us know you’d like to schedule several family members — we’ll work with you to find an arrangement that makes sense for your schedule.
