Beyond the obvious functions of helping your child chew and speak, baby teeth also play an important role in the future development your little one’s smile. Acting as placeholders, this first set of primary teeth helps to guide the permanent ones into their proper positions as they erupt into place. Because your child’s baby teeth are immediately susceptible to tooth decay, it’s essential from the moment they appear in the mouth that you start keeping your child’s smile clean and healthy.
As skilled and compassionate providers of care, we’re well aware of the unique dental of children and can help your little ones become accustomed to sitting in the dental chair from the earliest age. At the office of Liberty Dental, every member of our staff is experienced in working with young children and knows just how to make them feel engaged and at ease. From your child’s very first visit, we’ll advise you on the most effective methods of keeping his or her teeth clean and discuss the foods, beverages, and harmful oral habits that can lead to dental problems. While it can be difficult on occasion to get children into a regular oral hygiene routine, we’ll give you tips and advice on brushing their teeth to help make this practice a fun part of their daily activities. And, as your child grows, we keep an eye on dental and jaw development; providing preventive care as well as any other indicated services along the way.
To help keep your child’s smile healthy and bright, we recommend checkups twice a year. In this way, we can examine your child smile to assess oral health and development as well as check for any emerging conditions. By providing preventive care and treatment for any issues early in their onset, we can help your child to enjoy the benefits of optimal oral health.
At the office of Liberty Dental, we make every visit a positive and engaging experience for you and every member of your family. For more information on our office, give us a call today.
