Your kids dentist can help create good habits with your children that will help prevent the decay of their enamel and reduce cavities. Through Preventative Pediatric Dentistry, we help your child have healthy gums and strive to help save you money by reducing the need for costly procedures a child would need in the future.

Parents play a vital role in preventative dentistry since good oral hygiene is learned by example. Teach children healthy habits early on and remember to schedule dental appointments about every 6 months.

Pediatric Dentistry: Why Does My Child Need It?

As a parent, it is important to understand the significance of receiving pediatric care for your child. Pediatric care refers specifically to the attention that children need.

Pediatric dentists specialize in treating kids are equipped with the knowledge and experience necessary to care for your child’s dental needs. We’re here to ensure that your child is healthy and happy through proper pediatric dentistry and by learning lifelong oral health habits. We will do our best to make your child feel comfortable in our dentist office.

What Is My Role?

Parents are the integral part of whether a kid will maintain healthy habits. Your ability to help them brush and floss will make the biggest difference in the overall health of their enamel. Below is a list of things you should teach and discuss with your child at a young age:

• Brush & floss daily
• Use fluoride regularly
• Have routine dental visits
• Monitor potential problem areas
• Dental work – sealants, cleanings, check-ups

When Should We Begin?

Practicing good oral health should start when your child’s first tooth comes in. Teeth can come in at various times, but all should be ready to teach their children healthy dental habits when your kids turn one. Dr. Schweppe Pediatric Dentistry will help your child get started on the right path to good oral health with a preventative pediatric dentistry plan. This will lay the foundation for consistent behavior that will last a lifetime.
