Helping Children Develop Healthy Smiles with Children’s Dentistry

March 26, 2014

children's dentistryChildren need healthy smiles, just like adults. But where can you take your child for quality children’s dentistry? To Generations Dental Care!

At Generations Dental Care in Concord, our doctors are happy to see patients three years old and older.

Even though your child will lose his or her baby teeth in time, keeping them healthy until then with brushing, flossing, and regular checkups is still important. That’s because baby teeth are like placeholders for adult teeth. As your child grows, his or her baby teeth will help guide adult teeth into their proper position. When baby teeth develop cavities, this can actually have a long-term effect on the adult teeth that will come in later one. Poor oral health can also have an impact on your son or daughters overall health, wellness, and self-confidence.

To help protect your child’s developing smile, we recommend that he or she see our Concord children’s dentistry team twice a year, or about every six months. During your little one’s appointment, we’ll check to see that teeth are developing properly, and we can talk to both you and your little one about correct brushing and flossing.

Dental sealants and fluoride treatments will help us provide even more protection for your child. Dental sealants form a physical barrier between bacteria and the chewing surfaces of teeth. Meanwhile, fluoride treatments attract minerals that are important for building strong, healthy enamel.
