Welcome to the world of Pediatric dentistry where we turn dental visits into fun adventures! From glittery toothbrushes to colorful braces, we’ll make sure your little one’s smile sparkles brighter than ever before.
Children’s teeth begin forming before birth and the first primary teeth usually appear by age 3. It’s important to begin oral care soon after birth by cleaning gums after each feeding and brushing teeth as soon as they appear. Permanent teeth begin appearing around age 6 and the process continues until around age 21.
Teaching your child good oral hygiene habits early on can set them up for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Regular dental check-ups are important to ensure that your child’s teeth are developing properly and to detect any issues early on.
It’s important to limit sugary snacks and drinks in your child’s diet to prevent tooth decay.
Encourage your child to drink tap water, which is often fluoridated and can help strengthen their teeth. Dental sealants can be a great way to protect your child’s molars from decay, especially if they are prone to cavities. As soon as your child’s first tooth appears, you should start using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth. Parents should supervise their child’s brushing and flossing until at least age 8 to ensure that they are doing it correctly. Dental X-rays can help your dentist detect any hidden problems with your child’s teeth such as cavities between their teeth or impacted wisdom teeth.
