Did you that over
20% of children between the ages of 5 and 11 suffer from untreated cavities?
Few things brighten your day like your little ones’ smile. In order to keep
their smile bright and beautiful, your children require routine dental care. At
Pecan Tree Dental, we offer the latest in children’s dentistry to help our
youngest patients maintain healthy smiles. In today’s blog, your GrandPrairie dentist, Dr. Quinn Smith, answers a few common questions parents
often ask regarding our children’s dentistry procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Children’s Dental Care
Question: Does Pecan
Tree Dental offer a child-friendly atmosphere?
Answer: Yes. Dr.
Smith and our staff strive to provide an environment in which your child feels
relaxed and comfortable. In addition, we keep a box filled with fun toys and
trinkets as a reward for our young patients following their appointment.
Question: When
should my child see Dr. Smith?
Answer: The first
dental visit should follow the eruption of the first baby tooth. This visit
mainly lets Dr. Smith evaluate the state of your little one’s dental health.
Starting around age three, your child should see your Grand Prairie children’s
dentist once every six months. Routine visits not only allow Dr. Smith to
watch for signs of burgeoning dental disorders, but also helps children become
accustomed to visits the dentist.
Question: What are
fluoride treatments?
Answer: Fluoride strengthens
tooth enamel, aiding in the prevention of cavities. For children with teeth
especially vulnerable to decay, Dr. Smith may recommend a fluoride treatment.
Question: Can dental
sealants help prevent tooth decay?
Answer: Yes. Dental
sealants are thin layers of plastic material applied to the molars in the back
of your child’s mouth. These teeth are often difficult for them to reach when
brushing. Sealants keep food from adhering to the tooth’s surface or becoming
stuck between teeth. Dental sealants help your child avoid tooth decay and the
painful complications associated with it, such as toothaches.
