They\u2019re more susceptible to disease than an adult\u2019s mouth. Because they are still developing, it\u2019s often difficult to keep a child\u2019s mouth completely clean and averse from developing a disease. It all starts at home and how they\u2019re taking care of their teeth. Of course, this all depends on their age. It\u2019s important to keep a close eye on all of your kids\u2019 oral health, but much younger kids need adult assistance. Practicing and maintaining excellent oral health habits will pave the road for a beautiful looking and feeling smile. Cavities are seen in kids more than any other disease, and we aim to try to lower those numbers. <o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Our dental team of Drs.

Don\u2019t let cavities take over!&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h3>What Happens During a Regular Checkup?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<div>Did you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jldentalstl.com\/childrens-dentistry.html\">children\u2019s dentistry<\/a> starts around the age of three? It can always start earlier but this is the usual time period. Their first examination is usually quick and we introduce them to the office environment. From there, regular checkups and additional care may be required. Everythingi from regular exams and cleanings to dental sealants and fluoride treatments are available. <o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We constantly focus on creating a caring environment as it can be a foreign place for most kids. We concentrate on providing a gentle touch because, after all, they\u2019re kids. We want everyone, not just kids, to enjoy coming to our office and receive high-quality treatment. Our dental team will thoroughly examine your child\u2019s mouth and keep an eye out for any problems. Cavities are most often discovered by our dental team in a child\u2019s mouth. Cavities are the result of excessive tooth decay that has embedded deep into your tooth. From there, it\u2019s possible they could develop tooth pain and require a tooth canal\u2026if it isn\u2019t treated in time. This is where those general checkups come in handy \u2013 it\u2019s a general overview of your child\u2019s current dental health. Cavities can be pinpointed the moment we look inside their mouth. As a parent, you might think you know whenever there is a problem, but unless you have a degree in dentistry, you\u2019re not going to know what to look out for.<\/div>\n<h3>Schedule Your Child\u2019s Checkup Today&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<div>Now is a great time to have your child checked at our office while school is still in its beginning stages. There\u2019s only so much we can do at our office, so it\u2019s doubly important that you\u2019re helping your children practice good dental hygiene habits.
