Rhode Island Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics is a team of motivated professionals, dedicated to providing the highest quality dental care to children, adolescents, and adults as well as patients with special health care needs.
We are pediatric dentists and orthodontists whose strength is generated from our commitment to our patients, their parents and guardians, our team and the community.
Our mission is to promote children's dental health while creating a positive attitude about dental care both at home and in the office!
At Rhode Island Children's Dentistry, our board-certified pediatric dentists understand that each child has unique needs.
We strive not only to provide the highest quality of care to treat cavities and oral disease but also to provide a friendly, fun, comfortable, and anxiety free environment.
Our approach is to educate children and parents to promote healthy habits for a lifetime of confident and beautiful growing smiles.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that your child be seen by a pediatric dentist by the age of 1 or at least 6 months after the first tooth erupts.
The American Dental Association and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry affirm that applying a small smear of fluoride- containing toothpaste will strengthen and clean the teeth.
If you use a fluoridated toothpaste, use a very small amount (about the size of a piece of rice) so if swallowed, it will be safe for your baby.
During your office visit, Doctors Paquin and Kiang will assess the cavity risk for your child and will provide an individual recommendation for professional fluoride applications and/or fluoride use at home.
Encouraging your child to stop using a bottle or sippy cup by the age of 1, and by brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste.
Making sure they don't eat too many in-between meal snacks, especially sticky foods like fruit snacks and candy.
To prevent bite and facial development problems, make sure your child stops any sucking habits (pacifier, thumb sucking, etc.) by age 3 if possible.
Preschool children typically gain independence at home especially after conquering toilet training.
Nevertheless, we recommend parental assistance with brushing.
At this age your child will start to lose their first teeth and the tooth fairy will be visiting your house frequently!
Around age 6, your child will begin to lose his or her baby teeth and gain permanent ones.
Children often have trouble reaching the back teeth and tend to ignore the gum line, so pay attention to those areas.
In addition to losing teeth, your child will get four new permanent molars, called the 'six year molars' behind their baby molars.
The six year molars take the space that has been created by the last three years of jaw growth.
