Promote Healthy Smiles: Book Your Child’s Exam Today!
A lifetime of healthy teeth starts with good dental habits. Give your child a solid foundation by scheduling exams and cleanings twice a year. Encourage them to listen to the dental team during their visit, and work together at home to enhance their dental hygiene routine.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child visit the dentist within six months after their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. Early oral examinations help detect the initial stages of tooth decay, which is crucial for maintaining good oral health.
Promote Healthy Smiles: Gentle Care for Your Child!
During each visit, we will gently clean your child’s teeth, removing any plaque or tartar, and carefully examine their mouth for potential issues. Regular cleanings and exams are crucial in preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.
Tooth decay is the most common chronic illness in childhood in the U.S. We will guide you and your child on proper brushing and flossing techniques as they grow. We’ll also discuss dental hygiene habits and healthy food choices, teaching your child to be an active partner in maintaining their oral health.
Protect Your Child’s Smile with Fluoride and Sealants!
We may suggest fluoride treatments for your child’s teeth to strengthen enamel and enhance resistance to decay. Fluoride can be applied in our office or found in specific toothpastes and mouth rinses.
In certain cases, we might recommend dental sealants, which are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. Recent studies have shown that sealants are highly effective in preventing tooth decay.
Help your child achieve a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Contact Eldersburg Family Dental to schedule a dental exam and cleaning for your child.
What Can Your Child Expect During a Typical Children's Dentistry Appointment?
During your child's first appointment, they will receive a comprehensive examination from one of our doctors, along with a professional dental cleaning. This allows us to check for signs of cavities and other oral health issues. If further treatment is needed, we can easily schedule a follow-up appointment.
Our goal is to provide a comfortable, professional environment you can trust. We work with children of all ages and adopt a kid-friendly approach to care.
