Encourage Children with a Healthy Smile!

Choosing Your Child's Dentist is Like Choosing Their Pediatrician

Teaching good habits early, in an environment that's comfortable and fun, is crucial for establishing a lifetime of strong oral health. From a young age, children's teeth are very susceptible to cavities due to many factors. First, children lack the necessary coordination to brush well on their own. Because of this, it is paramount for parents to assist in their child's daily dental care. This encourages both thorough cleaning and the development of proper dental habits. Little kids also tend to eat frequently throughout the day (grazing). This results in an extended exposure to food acids (every time you eat you make acid), which may cause more cavities. 

Lack of cleaning means teeth are more at risk to potential decay when food and juice acid comes in contact with them, speeding up the development of cavities. The good news is that identifying poor dietary and hygiene habits, along with applying a fluoride varnish to the mineralizing teeth, can drastically reduce the odds of your child developing a cavity.
