How Will You Care For My Child’s Smile?
Just like adults, children should be attending regular dental checkups by the age of three, which is usually when all of their primary (“baby”) teeth have erupted. During these visits, we will carefully and thoroughly review their oral health to ensure that there is no tooth decay or injury that needs to be addressed. We will also take a look at their overall oral development in order to identify any troubling trends that could be avoided if they’re cared for early enough.
As your child grows, their dental care will evolve with them. Our doctors will start providing valuable preventive services like a fluoride treatment that strengthens enamel and dental sealants that protect hard-to-reach teeth from harmful bacteria. Once they’re old enough, we will also teach them everything they need to know about brushing and flossing at home.
How Can I Help My Child Have a Good Dental Appointment?
- Bring them along to one of your appointments first so that they can meet our team and become familiar with our office.
- Be positive! If the dentist’s office makes you nervous, it’s likely that your son or daughter will pick up on this and also feel nervous.
- Let them keep a favorite stuffed animal or toy with them so that they’re more comfortable.
