Why is Pediatric Dentistry Important?
Gum disease, known as gingivitis in its early stages, is caused by harmful bacteria found in plaque that attack the soft tissues in your mouth. Early signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help reverse the damage. However, if detected later, effective restorative dentistry procedures can restore your mouth’s health and appearance. Regular exams and cleanings, along with specialized treatments, can help prevent and manage gum disease, keeping your teeth and gums strong and disease-free.
Who is a Good Candidate for Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is suitable for all children and teens. We focus on monitoring the health of your child's teeth and their overall growth and development as they grow. Around the age of seven or eight, we can also discuss orthodontic options with you. Since children are more prone to tooth decay, regular dental visits are essential to ensure the health of their teeth.
What Happens at a Pediatric Dentist Appointment
During your child’s visit, they will be greeted and seated in the dental chair. A cleaning will be performed to remove any buildup on their teeth, followed by an examination to check for any issues like cavities or concerns with growth and development. Based on the findings, we’ll recommend treatment options and provide tips for at-home care. We encourage a visit every six months for preventative care. Call us today to schedule an appointment!
