Children's Dental Care

Selecting a Child’s Dentist is Like Choosing Their Pediatrician

Developing good habits early, in an environment that’s comfortable and fun, is essential for a life of good oral health. Children’s teeth can be vulnerable to cavities at a young age due to several factors. They can’t brush well on their own. For this reason, it is important that parents be involved in their child’s daily dental care. This ensures thorough cleaning and the development of proper dental habits. Younger kids tend to eat more often during the day (called grazing). This often results in extended exposure to acid (every time you eat you make acid), which may lead to more cavities. 

A tooth that is not properly cleaned will cause the generation of additional acid and can accelerate the development of cavities. However, identifying poor dietary and hygiene habits, along with applying a fluoride varnish to the mineralizing teeth, can lower the chance of your child getting a cavity.
