Kids' Dental Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
As children grow, their baby teeth fall out and their adult teeth begin to emerge. Their dental needs evolve over time, so it is crucial to find a dental provider who can support them through this transition. Dr. Nana has extensive experience working with patients of all ages and offers various techniques to ensure each visit is enjoyable for your child.
It is recommended to schedule your child's first dental appointment after their first tooth emerges but before their first birthday. Following that, regular check-ups and cleanings every six months are advised. Positive early experiences at the dentist can help children establish good oral hygiene habits as they grow older. Our goal is 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 develop good brushing and flossing habits to protect their molars and premolars. Dental sealants can provide extra protection by forming a barrier that prevents bacteria and food particles from getting stuck in their teeth. Studies show that children with sealants are much less likely to get cavities in their molars. Find out more about the distinctions between premolars and molars.
Fillings that match the color of your teeth
We recommend using tooth-colored composite resin instead of metal amalgam for your child's cavity filling. This choice provides a more natural look, reduces the risk of teasing from peers, and promotes better long-term dental health. Composite resin also requires less removal of the original tooth structure compared to amalgam, making it a healthier option. Randall Pointe Dental is dedicated to providing a calm and secure environment for your child's dental care, starting from their first tooth.
