Your dentist emphasizes the importance of caring for your child’s teeth.
Find a dentist who will provide quality dental care for children. It is imperative to educate children and parents about proper dental health habits.
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should visit the dentist within six months after the presence of the first tooth or by his or her first birthday. Early oral examination aids in the detection of the early stages of tooth decay. Early detection is also essential to maintain oral health.
With regular check-ups and cleanings, your dentist can ensure healthy and happy smiles. Dental cleanings can remove plaque and bacteria buildup that causes tooth decay, gum recession and discomfort. Your dentist may also recommend dental sealants for your child. These dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that are applied to the molars which helps to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride may be applied to strengthen teeth as well.
Without proper dental care, children are susceptible to oral decay. We believe that healthy smiles should not stop at our dental office. We will educate you and your child on how to make good food choices and how to properly brush and floss at home.
