When should your child move from pediatric dentist to regular dentist?
Around Age 18: Most children transition to a general dentist between ages 18–21, as they near adulthood and complete dental development. Dental Maturity: When all permanent teeth have erupted, including wisdom teeth, it may be time to move to a general dentist. Comfort and Readiness: If your child feels comfortable and confident visiting a general dentist, the transition can be smoother. Changing Dental Needs: General dentists are better suited for adult dental needs like crowns, veneers, or gum disease treatment. Outgrowing Pediatric Services: Pediatric dentists focus on child-specific issues; once these are no longer needed, a regular dentist may be more appropriate. Dentist Recommendation: Your child’s pediatric dentist can advise on the right time to switch based on their dental health and growth.

Can a parent be in the room while there child is getting a filling?
Yes, but it isn't recommended. It will depend on the dentist and the child. For kid's that really don't want to be there and that become very upset, having a parent in the room only makes it worse. The child will cry longer and harder waiting for the parent to comfort them and get them out of the chair. And parents have a hard time sitting there without saying something to a child that may be crying and it just confuses the child as to who they should be listening to. But, if you don't know the dentist and have any doubts at all, by all means, stay in the room. If you feel comfortable enough to let the dentist and assistant do their job, trust me, it always goes smoother when the child can't see or hear their mom or dad.
