Preventive Care
for Children
One of the most important aspects of pediatric dentistry is preventive care. This involves a combination of practices, habits and activities, including the following:
-
Brushing and Flossing: You should begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as they erupt and floss them once you can’t reach every surface.
-
Using Fluoride: As soon as your child’s teeth erupt, brush them with fluoride toothpaste to make them more resistant to decay.
-
Instilling Healthy Eating Habits: Encourage your child to choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables and limit their intake of sugary treats.
-
Scheduling Regular Dental Visits: Regular dental checkups ensure that any developing dental issues are detected early on, allowing for prompt treatment before they become bigger and more serious problems.
Monitoring Growth and Development
Early assessment and planning by a pediatric dentist can go a long way in ensuring your child’s teeth and facial structures develop properly. By detecting any abnormalities early on, our dentists can provide timely treatment, preventing more serious issues down the line. Not only does early growth assessment help with prevention, but it also allows for tailored treatment plans based on your child’s unique needs.
Our dentist will work with you to create a plan that addresses any current concerns and sets your child up for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. At Dr. Crapo & Associates, we always keep an open dialogue with you to advise you responsibly about your child’s oral care.
