Preventive Care
Preventive care usually begins when the first tooth erupts and no later than age one. The earlier the dental visit, the greater the chance that your child has a cavity-free childhood.
After evaluating your child’s dietary history,dental health and cavity risk, we will suggest a program of oral home care techniques, dietary guidance and fluoride use for your child. This will lay the foundation for good oral health.
Cleanings and fluoride treatments may also be a part of your child’s preventive program. Other preventive strategies may include sealants of primary and permanent teeth, fabrication of mouth-guards to prevent traumatic and sporting injuries to the teeth and surrounding tissues, as well as early diagnosis of future orthodontic needs.
