Dental Care For Children

DENTAL CARE FOR CHILDREN

Early positive dental experiences shape our future lives. On the flip side, traumatic experiences as a child can lead to fear and anxiety as adults. At our office, we place a huge emphasis on making your child’s dental visits comfortable and fun. The focus is always on the concept that “prevention is better than cure”.

Dental Care for Children treatment

Here are some questions and answers on this important topic.

HOW CAN I BEST PREPARE MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FOR HER FIRST DENTAL VISIT?

I would tell her that Dr Mike is going to give her a ride on his chair and count her teeth. Afterwards, she will receive a super present. Try and portray it as a fun experience without using any negative terminology ( no need to be scared, won’t hurt, etc)

WHAT’S THE BEST AGE FOR A FIRST DENTAL VISIT?

I would recommend between three and four years old.

WHAT ARE FISSURE SEALANTS- DO YOU RECOMMEND THEM?

Absolutely. Fissure sealants are plastic coatings that cover the deep grooves of the biting surfaces of newly erupted adult back teeth to prevent them from developing cavities.
The treatment is very effective and the procedure in placing them completely painless. They are usually placed on children between the ages of 7-10 years old.

AT WHAT AGE SHOULD CHILDREN BRUSH THEIR OWN TEETH?

There isn’t a hard and fast rule but on average 9-10 years old is a good age for a child to exclusively brush their own teeth.

SHOULD I BRING MY CHILDREN REGULARLY FOR HYGIENE APPOINTMENTS?

Yes. I would certainly recommend bringing your child every six months for a professional cleaning. It is also a great opportunity to form a friendly relationship with all the staff, get used to simple and painless clinical procedures and start collecting the presents that they’ll receive from us!

SHOULD I BRING MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON EVEN IF HE DOESN’T HAVE PAIN?

Sure. It’s really important that his early dental experiences are pleasant and fun. I always prefer that the first visit is not an emergency appointment that requires intense treatment.
