Ignoring fundamental dental care in the formative years can lead to serious complications in the future. Dentistry for children begins to get challenging as and how the quantity of work involved increases. To avoid this, we heavily advocate preventive dentistry. We believe children shouldn't have to experience the pain of tooth decay, damage or sensitivity to warrant a dental visit, when they can be avoided by precautionary measures.
Our Pediatric Dentists administer a teeth cleaning procedure using fluoride gel. They recommend a child get this treatment every 3-6 months. Fluoride increases the inherent strength of the enamel of the tooth decreasing the chances of decay.
Additionally, using sealants in the deep grooves of teeth (which act as catchment for bacteria and food) prevent the formation of cavities, and dental decay. This is a simple 10 minute procedure which, if done regularly, greatly fortifies your child's dental foundation.
Part of our preventive process is education on at-home dental practices. We educate both the child and the parents regarding proper brushing techniques based on the age of the child. Our specialists also offer diet modification counseling to ensure that foods injurious to dental health are eliminated.
It is a common misconception that milk teeth don't need dental attention as they are meant to fall off and give way to permanent teeth. This is far from the truth. Milk teeth are natural space maintainers, which are vital to a child's oral maturation. They are essential in developing the child's occlusion, for chewing, and for speech development. If infected before their time of exfoliations, milk teeth can cause a lot of damage.
At A2Z we offer a comprehensive range of treatments, which ensure total infection control. This prevents decay from percolating into permanent teeth.
