Pediatric Dentistry
Our office has daily cares for the needs of children as young as when the first tooth arrives, usually between the age of six months and one year. Having your child have their first visit at our office at around when they get their first teeth come in, will allow him or her to become familiar to our office, the sounds, and friendly helpers in our dental office. Your child’s one on one checkup will involve a tooth-by-tooth inspection and periodontal (gum) exam. Our dentist, will check for appropriate growth and progress, this can help prevent future tooth decay. Primary (baby) teeth are so very important not only for proper chewing but also for speech articulation, self-esteem, medical well being, and to hold space for the eventual growth of adult teeth.
As your child gets older, regular check ups and hygiene visits are highly recommended so they can have the best and healthiest teeth. Our great team will demonstrate to your child and to you (parent/guardian) the proper way to brush and floss. We will also let the child have help from you (parent/guardian) then practice on their own. Our team may have to recommend sealants or fluoride supplements. Sealants are thin, clear coatings that protect hard-to-reach back teeth from the sugars that cause tooth decay. Fluoride attracts other minerals to strengthen tooth enamel and fight off cavities. Even in many bottled water do not contain fluoride, your child may lack this essential mineral. Saving your kids from cavities can be as simple as utilizing Sealants and fluoride supplements. It is a quick and easy protective method!
