Pediatric dentistry is a specialty that focuses on maintaining the oral health of children from birth through adolescence, and often into early adulthood. The main focus of pediatric dentistry is prevention and helping children develop habits that promote healthy growth and development.
We recommend that your child visit us before the age of two. During this first visit, we will conduct a thorough examination of their primary teeth, also known as baby teeth. Strong and healthy baby teeth will aid your child in eating, speaking more easily, and also help them to have a beautiful smile. Additionally, baby teeth hold the space that permanent teeth will need in the future.
The best time to learn how to care for your child’s teeth is during their early childhood. Regular visits every six months to our office should include cleaning and fluoride application, as well as the correct application of “pit and fissure sealants,” also known as dental sealants. These are part of our dental caries, gum disease, and malocclusion prevention program.
