Keep Your Kid’s Smile Healthy With Children’s Care
Implementing good oral health habits in your child early on helps protect their smile in the short and long term. Along with great at-home oral hygiene habits, regular visits with our Pennino Family Dentistry team can help keep your child's smile healthy and strong.
Why Is Children’s Care Important?
Just as it’s vital for adults to receive tailored dental care, babies, toddlers, children, and teens must receive proper dental care to support their oral and overall health. Ongoing professional dental care helps:
Prevent Tooth Decay & Gum Disease
- Routine dental visits enable us to detect and treat tooth decay and gum disease. Young patients can be prone to developing cavities, but oral health education, in-depth visual and diagnostic testing, and professional cleanings and checkups from our team can help patients of all ages avoid dental issues.
Foster Healthy Development
- A baby’s first dental visit should happen by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. All 20 baby teeth usually develop and show in a toddler’s mouth by age two or three, and it’s vital that a child’s mouth is monitored to ensure their oral development is on track.
Establish Solid Oral Hygiene Practices
- In addition to instructing children on how to brush and floss effectively, we also provide age-appropriate nutritional education to encourage kids to care for their teeth and body by choosing healthy foods and drinks.
Avoid Future Dental Issues
- Receiving ongoing professional dental care from a young age can help prevent painful dental issues in the short and long term.
What Services Are Most Common With This Type Of Dentistry?
Children's dental care includes routine checkups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, and instructions on proper brushing and flossing techniques to protect and restore oral health and encourage great lifelong dental habits.
