Preventative Dentistry
At Smileworld Pediatric Dentistry, our focus is on preventive treatments. Their significance in maintaining your child's oral health cannot be understated as they ensure potential dental issues are avoided while your child matures.
The Necessity of Preventive Care for Your Offspring
Contrary to common assumptions, young children are as susceptible, if not more, to dental concerns like adults, despite the fact their primary teeth will eventually be replaced. Preventive dental care is paramount for kids as they are often more prone to cavities and other oral health problems. Introducing habits of good oral hygiene and preventive care early in life lays the foundation for lifelong dental health.
Our dedicated pediatric dentist aims to prevent cavities, gum diseases, and other dental issues from hampering your child's health and instills in them the practices of regular brushing and flossing at home.
Extensive Preventive Dental Procedures
We offer a variety of preventive procedures for your child including:
- Regular cleanings
- Routine examinations
- Dental sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Mouth guards
- Dietary advice
- Space maintainers
Our dentist guides your child to brush and floss correctly and suggest improvements to their existing oral care routine if needed.
Recommended Frequency of Dental Visits
We advise arranging a visit with our pediatric dentist at least biannually. Appointments should start as soon as your child's first tooth surfaces, or no later than their first birthday. Regular visits from a young age decrease the risk of dental complications and lets our dentists monitor your child's oral health, ensuring speedy treatment if a problem does arise.
Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or worries. We are here to assist you in taking care of your child and are always ready to provide further information or recommendations.
