Your family dentist will usually be the one to suggest that a child needs to see an orthodontist. In general a child will be 12 or older before their teeth begin to need straightening.
Usually your primary dentist will recommend the orthodontist about the time that the child's bones are nearing the end of their growth. If you want a smooth transition to an orthodontist and a dentist who is specifically geared to young ones, find a pediadontist. They do both and help you understand and plan as your child grows.
The dentist will pull the child's tooth like a similar way of pulling adult teeth. The dentist would usually coax and make the child feel at ease before carrying out the extraction process.
Many people continue using a pediatric dentist until their child reaches the age of 12, then they start using the family dentist; but it really is just personal preference on who you think would take better care of your child. It depends on how you 7 year old reacts to dentists. Most family's choose to keep their children with pediatric dentists until around 12 years old. If your child isn't afraid of the family dentist, then they will be in good hands there too!
Yes it can. Your child from the age of 4 should have been going for the odd check-up just to get use to going to the dentist. At 7 your child should be seeing the dentist. Perhaps the gum is infected. Good luck
When they are 16, that is also when they can move out if they have a good place to stay.

Vaccinations given to children in a well child visit vary depending on the age of the child and what vaccinations they have previously received.
A child with baby teeth can see a dentist for a "look-see" exam. Mom or dad can hold the child in the parent's lap. Taking them early will also get them used to sights, smells, noises in the dental office. Then, follow your dentist's recommended schedule for exams and cleaning.

he was just a newborn child
A child can make that decision at the age of 18.
