Kids' Dental Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
As kids grow, their baby teeth fall out and their adult teeth start to come in. Their dental needs change over time, so it's important to find a dental provider who can help them through this transition. Dr. Nana has extensive experience working with patients of all ages and offers various techniques to make each visit enjoyable for your child.
It's best to schedule your child's first dental appointment after their first tooth comes in but before their first birthday. After that, regular check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended. Positive early experiences at the dentist can help kids develop good oral hygiene habits as they get older. That's why we aim to make each visit special and leave them with a happy smile.
Dental Sealants, A Vital Tool in Children's Oral Health
Encourage your child to establish healthy brushing and flossing routines to safeguard their molars and premolars. Dental sealants can offer additional protection during this learning process by creating a barrier that prevents bacteria and food debris from becoming trapped in their teeth. Research indicates that children with sealants are significantly less likely to develop cavities in their molars. Learn more about the differences between premolars and molars.
Fillings that match the color of your teeth
We suggest using tooth-colored composite resin instead of metal amalgam for your child's cavity filling. This option offers a more natural appearance, prevents teasing from peers, and is better for the long-term health of the teeth. Composite resin requires less removal of the original tooth structure compared to amalgam, making it a healthier choice. Randall Pointe Dental is committed to creating a calm and secure environment for your child's dental needs, starting from their first tooth.
