Oral Hygiene/Prevention
Good oral hygiene is a very important part in the health of your child. Oral hygiene
has a significant influence on the formation of cavities. When teeth are not cleaned
properly and regularly, the decay-causing acids remain in the mouth and on the teeth
for a long period of time, leading to enamel that is likely to be weakened and more
susceptible to decay. Therefore, proper brushing and flossing is key to help prevent
decay. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child/children
be seen within their first year. Even though your child will not have all of his/her
primary (baby) teeth in at this time, it is important for the pediatric dentist
to examine your child's mouth to make sure that no problems exist or will be encountered.
This visit is also aimed at educating parents and providing anticipatory guidance
for the prevention of dental disease. After the first visit, your child will need
to be seen at age 2 and then 3. After your child's visit at age 3, regular 6-month
recall visits are encouraged. If you have any questions on the oral health of your
child, please do not hesitate to call our office.
