The Importance of Regular
Dentist Visits for Kids
Dental visits are just as important as annual
health checkups during childhood.
We love children and work hard to make their
visits a calm and pleasant experience.
Starting kids early will not only ensure
healthier teeth, but also make a visit to
the dentist a natural occurrence instead
of something to fear.
Healthy teeth help your child to eat
without pain.
Strong baby teeth also pave the way for
healthier adult teeth when they come in.
Keeping your child pain-free isn’t the only
reason to bring them to our office.
Each visit provides benefits that improve your
child’s overall wellbeing.
Keeping Your Child’s
Tooth Enamel Strong
Tooth enamel is susceptible to acids
that form when your child eats.
Some children are born with thin
enamel that is more likely to decay.
We offer fluoride treatments that help
strengthen the enamel.
Dental cleanings also help to remove food
debris and plaque before it causes cavities.
Preventing Issues
From Early Tooth Loss
Baby teeth are meant to fall out.
Until they do, they serve valuable roles.
A child’s first set of teeth helps them
to practice forming their speech
as well as enabling them to chew their food.
A child who loses too many teeth may
struggle with getting proper nutrition.
Teaching Your Kids
Proper Oral Hygiene
Techniques
Learning how to brush teeth properly
is a skill that takes time.
Flossing is also challenging
for many children.
Dentists can see the places on teeth
that children tend to miss.
We point out these areas to your child.
Then, we’ll show them how to angle their
toothbrush to hit those spots.
If your child struggles with flossing, then we’ll
show them easier ways to do it until they get
better fine motor control.
Identifying a Need for
Orthodontic Treatment
Parents often wonder if their child
will need braces.
Dentists start looking for signs of
a misaligned bite early in childhood.
Two-phase orthodontic treatment can
begin around the time that your child
is seven years old.
Spotting Common
Problems With Braces
If your older child already has braces,
then we’ll keep an eye out for problems.
Dentists are often the first to see stains
forming on the teeth.
We’ll also watch out for irritation on the
soft tissues of the mouth.
Building Confidence for
Future Dental Visits
Children benefit from having many
positive experiences with their dentist.
Dental anxiety often occurs when
children go too long between visits.
Preventing major procedures with
simple treatments, such as a teeth
cleaning, also helps to alleviate fear.
Each visit you arrange for your child with
us promotes a positive relationship.
Feeling comfortable with us as their
dentist makes it more likely they’ll keep
up their visits as an adult.
Children are open to new experiences.
This makes childhood the ideal time
to cultivate a relationship with their
dentist.
We recommend bringing your child
in for a visit as early as possible.
For most children, this will be when
they get their first tooth.
After that, we’ll schedule regular
checkups that keep their teeth healthy
as they grow.
