Children’s dentistry focuses on giving children the tools they need to have healthy teeth so they can live without fear of aches and issues. Integral to this mission is prevention. Fluoride treatments are excellent for supplementing oral hygiene habits and preventing tooth decay. While fluoride is commonly present in drinking water, regular fluoride treatments can help children stay ahead of the curve in protecting their teeth. Similarly, sealants may be recommended to cover and protect the teeth most vulnerable to bacteria. However, neither fluoride nor sealants are a replacement for daily brushing and flossing!
Many parents wonder why it’s important to take care of their children’s baby teeth (or as we call them, primary teeth) when they will just be replaced with adult teeth in a few years or less. Besides the importance of children learning good dental habits to carry with them through their lives, teeth are essential for speaking and eating. Children with bad or missing teeth may have trouble speaking with confidence or eating the food they need to grow. Additionally, poor dental health is one of the main reasons children miss school—think about how hard it is to concentrate on work or to get quality sleep when you have a toothache!

We understand that children have different needs and sensitivities than adults and we address them all. Adults want the best technology, the most informed doctors and the highest-quality care. While all these are important when caring for kids, they also require special attention in order to feel comfortable and respected. We offer the best of both worlds. Our dentists have extensive experience working with children and teens, so we can make the dental experience more enjoyable for everyone. By making kids comfortable with dentistry at a younger age, they’ll have the correct knowledge to provide them with a lifetime of excellent dental health!
