As placeholders for the permanent teeth that have yet to
come in, young children’s teeth need as much care as yours; in some cases,
more. That care begins with what you teach your children about good hygiene and
dental care, from brushing and flossing their teeth to visiting the dentist on
a regular basis. Because they’ll carry what they learn into their teens and
adulthood, the children’s dentistry services we
offer include helping you teach your children the basics of properly caring
for teeth.
What to Teach Your Children About Hygiene
You should teach your children to brush and floss their teeth as soon as they’re able to learn (though you can keep their mouths clean
until then by doing it for them). However, simply showing them the routine
might not generate their interest. You can make the learning process more fun
by describing the purpose of brushing their teeth in a story, where they’re the
heroes, their toothbrushes are the weapons, and the plaque on their teeth is
the villain. Eliminating the bad guy from every surface of their teeth is the only way to defeat it.
How Does Your Child Feel About the Dentist?
Its importance may seem like common knowledge to adults, but
to children, visiting the dentist can generate mixed emotions, like wonder,
excitement, apprehension, and fear. Part of their dental care education should
include becoming accustomed to visiting the dentist on a regular basis, which
they should begin doing by the age of two. With a specifically kid-friendly
environment, our office is designed to help children feel more at east about
professional dental care.
Children’s Dentistry Services
A box full of prizes and a warm, welcoming demeanor are only
compliments to the compassionate care we provide for children of all ages. In addition
to the kid-centric amenities we offer, Dr. Smith can also help clean, treat,
and protect your child’s smile with a variety of children’s dentistry services.
For instance, to protect your children’s still-developing teeth from
destructive cavities, Dr. Smith may recommend fluoride treatments and/or dental
sealants that shield teeth from oral bacteria.
