Your Child’s First Check-up
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that a child’s first dental visit take place within six months of their first tooth, or by their first birthday. This visit helps establish a dental home and can help prevent tooth decay. The pediatric dentist can identify problems early and help establish healthy habits. Routine checkups and cleanings not only keep your child’s smile radiant but also support their overall health.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where cavities are most likely to develop. Sealants create a smooth barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from getting stuck in the tooth. Sealants offer an effective way to reduce the risk of cavities and promote long-term oral health.
Fluoride Treatments
Topical fluoride treatments strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. Application of fluoride gel, foam, or varnish to the teeth helps remineralize enamel and enhance its resistance to decay. Topical fluoride is particularly beneficial for children, individuals at higher risk for cavities, or those with weakened enamel. Fluoride treatments are typically performed during regular dental checkups.
Thumb-sucking and other habits
Thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use can impact dental development, potentially causing problems with tooth and jaw alignment. Early intervention and guidance are crucial in helping break these habits and promoting healthy teeth and jaws.
