Preventive Dental Care for Children

Choosing Your Child’s Dentist is Like Choosing Their Pediatrician
It is important for every child to develop good daily hygiene habits for the health of their teeth and gums.

Children’s teeth are more susceptible to cavities in their formative years due to a variety of factors. They often do not brush thoroughly on their own. We encourage parents to be a part of their daily dental care. Children also eat throughout the day, which exposes their teeth to the acid in foods. When a tooth is not clean to begin with, more acid will increase the rate of development of cavities.

When parents and the dentist work together to identify poor hygiene and dietary habits, this will help to reduce the chances of cavities. Also, an application of a mineralizing fluoride varnish will be a significant help in the fight against decay.
