As one of the most important aspects of dental care, preventive dentistry takes a proactive approach to keeping your child’s teeth healthy. We offer treatments to help prevent damage caused by tooth decay to your child’s smile and offer services that reduce the chance of gum disease later on in life and other more severe oral problems. However, we try to remind parents that what has the most impact on your child’s smile is what happens outside of our office. That is why our dentists and team offer guidelines to help you and your child create and maintain good oral hygiene habits while at home. These habits are instrumental in preventing cavities and reducing the chance of other serious dental issues.

We recommend that you:

• Brush and floss your child’s teeth twice every day
• Limit the amount of sugary or acidic foods eaten
• Visit our office for routine dental cleanings and exams
• Learn more about protective treatments like dental sealants and fluoride

Following these simple steps helps keep your child’s smile healthy for lifelong results. We invite you to give our office a call if you have any questions about preventive dental care and how we can help you keep your child’s smile strong both inside and outside the office.
