Your child’s health is an extremely important part of being a parent. You will want to help your child grow up healthy and strong. You also want them to enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile, and to always experience as little discomfort as possible. You will want to consider a dental practice because of these reasons. A dental practice that has the proper qualifications in working with children. Missouri River Dental will provide the pediatric expertise and quality dental care for you and your child.
Regular Examinations are Critical in Preventative Children’s Dentistry
Just like every adult, your child should visit us for routine children’s dentistry services, which include checkups and cleanings. These cleanings are most beneficial every six months. These consistent children’s dentistry exams will help your child, you, and us to avoid unnecessary cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. No different than a dental cleaning for you, Missouri River Dental will remove damaging plaque and debris from your child’s teeth. We always include giving your child an oral exam, to make sure their teeth are erupting properly. As your child grows older, we will also monitor them to ensure that their adult teeth are coming in correctly.
Oral exams are a foundational part of preventative children’s dentistry. It is important to make sure that your child does not miss any cleanings. What may have been a small cavity that we could have quickly corrected now ends up requiring a more severe procedure, which is an aspect of children’s dentistry that can be difficult for any child of any age to undergo, especially if it were avoidable.
Simple Tips to Help Avoid Tooth Decay
As a parent, you can take some early preventative measures to help guard your child against tooth decay, even before their first dental visit:
- Try your best to flush your baby's teeth with water or try to wipe them down with a damp cloth after feeding before they fall asleep. Any milk or formula residue will promote decay. Untreated cavities can lead to their discomfort and a damaging infection.
- Set a goal to wean your child off breastfeeding or bottled milk by their first birthday. This effort will help avoid decay and minimize the chance of jaw growth problems from excessive sucking.
- Begin to establish good habits early. Start brushing their teeth as soon as the first tooth come in. Even the smallest tooth showing can develop a cavity. Use a soft bristled brush and water and ask us when to introduce a small amount of toothpaste.
- When your child is old enough to begin brushing by themselves, continue to monitor their brushing, helping them to clean any areas they might have missed.
- Avoiding sugary drinks or milk before bedtime goes a long way to proper care.
- Limit all sugary foods your child eats and drinks.
