Preventive dentistry is crucial for children, just as it is for adults. As a parent, you might think that because your child’s primary teeth will eventually be replaced by permanent ones, their dental care is not quite as important now as it will be later. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Children can face numerous oral health issues, and they may even be more susceptible to cavities and other dental problems than adults.
Our pediatric dentist and team are dedicated to ensuring your child’s oral health, which is a vital component of their overall wellbeing. Pediatric preventive dentistry focuses on keeping your child’s mouth free from plaque buildup, gum disease and tooth decay, thereby avoiding the need for more extensive treatments in the future. Preventive treatments we may recommend include:
We recommend bringing your child in for a dental check-up at least twice a year. Ideally, you should start scheduling these visits when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. These routine visits allow our pediatric dentist and team to monitor your child’s oral health and provide them with the care they need, which reduces the risk of dental issues and ensures that any problems that do arise are quickly addressed.
Our team is committed to being a resource for you in maintaining your child’s smile. We are here to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your child’s dental health.
