Children's Dentistry

Your Children's Dentist is an Important Part of Their Healthcare

We take the best care of your children's teeth during their visits, but it is equally important that they maintain good dental hygiene at home. Children's teeth are very susceptible to dental caries for a variety of reasons:

• Children do not always do a thorough job of brushing. We encourage parents to supervise their brushing and flossing.
• Children eat frequently throughout the day, and every time they eat, acid is produced in the mouth. Acid can add to the formation of bacteria and plaque on teeth, which leads to decay.
• If teeth are not as clean as they should be, that produces additional acid that can increase the rate at which cavities develop.

With better, healthier food choices and consistent daily dental care, the development of cavities can be minimized. The best treatment for the prevention of cavities is an application of a dental sealant, which mineralizes the teeth to fortify them against cavities.
