Children's Dentistry

A Dentist Provides Health Care Just Like a Doctor

We focus on the needs specific to children to keep their teeth and gums at their best. Their teeth are more prone to cavities for a couple of reasons:

They do not brush and floss properly, regularly, or thoroughly. We ask parents to help their children with their daily dental care until they have formed good daily habits.

Children eat throughout the day, so their teeth are more frequently exposed to acids from eating and drinking. If they do not brush as often or as thoroughly as needed, they prolong the exposure of acids on their teeth. Continual build-up of these acids increases their number of cavities. We recommend better food choices, improved hygiene, and one application of a dental varnish to protect teeth from easily developing cavities.
