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 different 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 children develop good oral hygiene habits as they get older, which is why we work hard to make each visit special and leave them with a happy smile.
Dental Sealants, A Vital Tool in Children's Oral Health
It is important to help your child establish good brushing and flossing habits. To provide extra protection for their molars and premolars while they are still learning, consider applying dental sealants. These thin protective layers can help prevent bacteria and food particles from getting trapped in the crevices of their teeth. Research shows that children with dental sealants are 80% 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
When your child needs a cavity filled, we suggest using tooth-colored composite resin instead of metal amalgam. This option not only looks more natural and prevents teasing from peers, but it is also 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.
