Believe it or not, your child was born with all of their milk teeth ready to erupt, so you should start taking care of your child right away. At our clinic, our dentists and team offer pediatric special care from the age of 1, and you can call to schedule your child’s appointment.
Our dentists and team are happy to care for patients of all ages, especially children! We provide pediatric private dentistry to keep your child’s smile healthy and support oral development. During your child’s appointments, our dentists will clean their teeth and check for dental issues that need to be addressed.
We recommend that your child visit our clinic every six months for examination and cleaning so that he or she can get the dental care they need for a healthy and bright smile. Every member of our team is caring, compassionate and experienced in providing quality dentistry to children. We will take the time to build a relationship with your child so that they feel comfortable and safe in our care at each visit.
In addition to bringing your child for regular visits, it’s important to establish a good oral hygiene routine at home. Show your child how to brush and floss, and encourage him to do it every day. You can also help your child by providing a balanced and healthy diet.
If you have any questions about how you can support your child’s oral health, we invite you to call or visit us today!
IMPORTANCE OF PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
Despite the temporary nature of your child’s teeth, pediatric dentistry is just as important to adults as dental visits. Keeping milk teeth healthy and intact for as long as possible serves several purposes:
Most pediatric dentists recommend bringing a child for the first visit before they are one year old. Even children without teeth should have their oral health evaluated. Babies are prone to conditions like thrush and can develop gum infections before their teeth erupt. Like adults, children should see the dentist every six months. Maintaining this program is especially important for children whose teeth are changing as baby teeth are lost and adult teeth are erupting.
Regular visits also allow your dentist to evaluate how well permanent teeth are growing and recommend steps for a healthier bite. Take your child to the dentist sooner in case of an injury or toothache. Although their roots are smaller, milk teeth still have nerves and can be quite painful or sensitive when damaged.
