Complete Dental Care for Kids
The best time to start dental care is when kids are young.
Young smiles are at the same risk for cavities and tooth decay as adult ones. Without the right dental care, oral health problems can wreak havoc on children’s teeth.
Children’s dentistry helps keep our kids’ smiles healthy and beautiful. It sets them up for a lifetime of good oral health.
A children’s dentist helps kids learn how to take care of their teeth while also addressing any issues before they become major. Turn to our dentist for kids to reduce the risk of gum disease , cavities, and dental misalignment. Visit Victory Smiles Dental Center today!
Preparing Children for Their Dental Visit
The American Dental Association recommends that children have their first dental appointment by age 1 (earlier if they get their first tooth before then). Preparing kids to visit the dentist can be a challenge, much like taking them to the doctor or getting their first haircut.
The new experience, strange noises, and unfamiliar smells can make the dentist a scary place for young patients. Taking some time to prepare them before their first dental visit can make a huge difference.
Keep in mind that kids feed off our emotions. If you emit anxiety about the dental visit, your child will also feel this way.
Instead, keep a positive attitude about children’s dental care. Educate your child on what the appointment will include, and reassure them that it’s a safe environment. You may find a children’s book on the subject to be a helpful guide!
