Children are not just small adults. Therefore, they require special care and treatment tailored to their specific needs and conditions. Children have particular types of dental health issues and risks unique to their age. Additionally, their mouths are growing and changing rapidly as they develop. It is essential to monitor these changes and provide comprehensive care at each stage of development to prevent issues or catch them early.
At-home hygiene routines are also essential to keep kids’ teeth healthy, but brushing and flossing are not enough to keep kids’ mouths clean and free of cavities. Dental care needs to change as children grow and constantly change throughout childhood. Parents should work closely with pediatric dentists to develop a plan for keeping their children’s teeth and gums as healthy as possible. That’s where we come in! Here at Englewood Dentistry, we are proud to provide exceptional, compassionate care for children of all ages. We focus on preventive care to help stop problems before they even start while maintaining a fun and comfortable environment for children and their parents.
Pediatric dentistry is an area of dental care dedicated to treating children and young adults. The services include regular exams and teeth cleanings to maintain oral health, along with additional treatments that may be needed if the child is experiencing any pain or discomfort with their teeth or gums. Many children experience cavities at some point, and a pediatric dentist is prepared to treat these conditions and prevent further complications in young mouths.
Since young children have unique oral health needs, it’s essential to use a dental practice with experience treating younger patients. The dentist should also be able to recognize developmental issues that can have an impact on a child’s oral health as the child gets older.
Children must visit the dentist regularly, but sitting through treatment without getting angry or anxious can be challenging. Our pediatric dentist and team know how to handle your child’s needs and make them comfortable during every visit. They know how to calm nerves and make kids feel relaxed during treatment. In addition, these professionals use tools and methods that are specially designed for young mouths. Kids receive more gentle care with these tools than they would with a toothbrush or floss at home. Our dental hygienists are experienced with kids and understand the best ways to get them to sit still for treatment. We can even provide a distraction through toys, video games, movies, or even a fun balloon if they start feeling nervous.
Your child’s oral health is important, so bringing them in for regular checkups and cleanings is essential. For the best dental care for your children, visit Englewood Dentistry at 334 Grand Ave, Englewood 07631, or call (201) 541-8111.
