In order to enjoy good overall and dental health over the lifespan, it’s important for parents to take an active role in their children’s dental care early on. In most cases, it is recommended to take your child for their very first dental visit by his or her first birthday. However, it is a good idea to see a pediatric dentist like Dr. Kurzweil when the first tooth appears.
Generally, treatment provided to infants, children, and adolescents closely resemble those offered to adult dentistry patients. However, your pediatric dentist will take into consideration that your child is still developing. Dr. Kurzweil’s pediatric dentistry procedures aim to prevent and/or correct oral health problems in children.
Common treatments provided in pediatric dentistry may include:
Your dentist will work closely with you to provide preventative care and resolve any dental issues that affect your child’s health. Call to schedule a pediatric dentistry appointment today.
The parent’s role in child tooth care is incredibly significant. You have the responsibility of making sure preventative care practices introduced in your dentist’s office are carried out at home. To help your child fight gum disease and minimize the likelihood of cavities, be sure that children brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque that develops between teeth and along the gumline. Your children should also consume a healthy, balanced diet that limits sugary or starchy foods that contribute to tooth decay.
