Pediatric dentistry, or children’s dentistry, encompasses all the dental services needed to promote children’s oral hygiene and proper tooth and jaw development. Your child’s oral health can affect his or her lifelong oral health, and by teaching children the importance of dental hygiene early on, they may be more likely to take care of their teeth in the teen and adult years ahead of them.
There are many different dental services for children, such as:
- Teeth cleanings and checkups
- Dental sealants
- Dental fillings
Not only is it important to prevent your child from experiencing cavities and gum problems, it’s also important to monitor the ways the jaws are developing. If serious bite problems begin to form, we can suggest certain interventions to promote proper bite alignment.
It’s important to look for a dentistry practice that has a staff and dentist experienced in working with families and young children. At our practice, our dentist is a parent, as are many of our staff members. We know how to talk to children and how to do everything we can to make them comfortable at the dentist’s office. At our practice, everyone in your family can get dental care under one roof.
