The habits we learn at a young age can set us up for success in adulthood. When it comes to healthy smiles, introducing your little one to regular dental care establishes the importance of daily brushing and flossing. Kids who know they have upcoming dental visits know they need to take care of their smiles. That is why we recommend bringing your children to cleanings and exams with the same frequency we recommend for adults. Biannual visits combine professional cleaning services with examinations that identify active concerns and track the development of your child’s smile. This means detecting problems with tooth decay or gum disease when conservative options are available for treatment. To give kids an additional level of support, we provide services such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants that fight plaque accumulation while children are still learning to take care of themselves.
At your Shirley, NY pediatric dentist and orthodontist, we take pride in teaching children oral care habits that result in healthy smiles. We foster a welcoming environment that puts your child at ease when they attend their first visits. We believe when children enjoy their time at the dentist’s office, it increases their commitment to caring for their smile. This results in a win for parent, child, and dentist alike!
