Children/Adolescent Dental Care
Early preventive dental care is important for children. Care of primary teeth aids in the positioning of permanent teeth, and combating the number one childhood disease which is dental caries (decay). Age three is normal for a child’s first visit. We often recommend bringing a two-year-old with mom or dad to the parent’s normal visit to the hygienist. Children’s issues can be discussed and a quick “look-see” exam might be accomplished in the parent’s lap. This process helps the young ones become familiar with our dental office setting and look forward to coming in for a visit of their own.
