We understand that your child's well-being is your top priority, and here at Milton Dental we want to be part of their journey to optimal health through our pediatric dental services.
What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health and dental care of infants, children, and teenagers. It encompasses specialized procedures, preventive measures, and a child-friendly approach to ensure a positive dental experience.
What Services Are Included in Pediatric Dentistry?
- Preventive Care: Pediatric dentistry focuses on stopping dental issues early by finding and fixing problems before they become big.
- Dental Check-ups: Regular visits help dentists keep an eye on how a child's teeth and gums are growing. This way, they can catch any problems early and make sure oral structures remain healthy.
- Fluoride Treatments: Dentists use fluoride to make teeth stronger and prevent cavities. It's like giving teeth extra protection.
- Dental Sealants: Sealants are like shields for teeth. Your dentist will brush the sealant onto the biting surface of the tooth where it will harden and prevent debris and bacteria from entering through cavities.
- Guidance for Oral Development: Dentists give advice on taking care of kids' teeth, including how to brush and watch for changes in how their jaws and teeth are growing. Establishing this educational relationship with a dentist is one of the most effective ways to prevent dental anxiety in adulthood.
How Often Should I Take My Child for Pediatric Dentistry?
Schedule the first dental visit by age one or when the first tooth appears. After that, you should schedule regular check-ups every six months to monitor oral development and address any concerns promptly.
