Your
Child’s Dentist is as Important as Their Pediatrician
We want your children to take good daily care of their teeth
starting at an early age. Children’s teeth are more prone to
cavities at a young age for various reasons. Often children
do not brush as they should. Parents can supervise how well
their children clean their teeth, so they will develop
proper habits. Kids also eat more often throughout the day
(grazing), which results in more exposure to the acids
produced from eating, eventually causing more cavities.
If a tooth is not clean enough to begin with, additional
acids will speed up the rate of decay. If better dietary
choices and hygiene habits are instilled, together with a
mineralizing varnish, chances of cavities developing can be
significantly minimized.
Preventing
Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!
Children don’t always brush properly, and sometimes even
meticulous brushing doesn’t clean the grooves and contours
of teeth. If acids and bacteria build up, plaque will form
and lead to decay. Any amount of decay is permanent damage
for a tooth and it will need a filling. To keep all this
from happening, we recommend one application of a sealant to
their teeth.
Here is the quick and easy treatment. All the teeth are
cleaned and sterilized. Our dentist applies a thin, clear
plastic coat to each tooth and then bonds the sealant with a
curing light. And that’s it! The procedure takes only a few
minutes. Your children will feel very comfortable with this
effective treatment as there are no shots or drilling, and
all tooth structure remains intact.
This is one of the best preventive treatments children and
adolescents can have to maintain their natural teeth for a
lifetime!
