Preventative Dentistry
Our team believes the best type of dentistry is preventative dentistry. Avoiding future dental issues and emergencies is one of our top priorities. With preventative dentistry, your child’s dentist can detect signs of decay and concern early. At regular visits, our team can help prevent future dental problems by removing plaque and tartar buildup, checking for early signs of decay, performing x-rays and helping your child maintain a healthy smile. Regular check-ups are one of the best ways you can protect your child’s smile!
In addition to regular dental check-ups, at-home dental care is key! Brushing at least twice a day is recommended, as well as flossing regularly. If you can avoid giving your child sugary foods until they are close to their toothbrush, that’s a good way to protect their smile too. By keeping your child’s smile clean and healthy every day, you can prevent future dental problems.
Sealants
Another area of preventative dentistry is dental sealants. Dental sealants work by protecting your child’s smile from bacteria and decay. Sealants are a thin, protective coating that covers your child’s back molars. This protection keeps the deep crevices of their molars and hard-to-reach areas safe from tooth decay, plaque and bacteria. Dental sealants last for several years once applied to the back teeth.
