A Dentist Helps to Keep Children Healthy
Children's teeth are more susceptible to cavities for a variety of reasons. It is our goal to help them keep their teeth cavity free by identifying the factors that bring on cavities.Often young children do not brush well. We encourage parents to help them develop good daily hygiene. Teeth that are not as clean as they should be are more prone to cavities due to increased acid production and therefore exposure. Once decay begins, any amount of damage is permanent and requires a restoration.
As children eat more often throughout the day (grazing), the rate and number of cavities that develop will increase. But with more nutritious food choices, improved daily care, and an application of a dental sealant, the occurrence of cavities can be minimized.
