Your kids need many forms of protection when they are small, including protection for their teeth. While you can provide important support on your own, you should also rely on the care offered during pediatric dental visits to keep them safe from new problems. Families in the El Paso, TX area can count on pediatric dentistry provided at Sunny Smiles. Our practice offers support to people of all ages. For adults, we provide continued care, including access to a range of restorative and cosmetic services. For kids, we can provide a friendly introduction to smile care as well as support throughout the development of their oral structures. That starts with a welcome and warm introduction to our office, and to dental care, which can make their future visits easier.
What Do Pediatric Dental Visits Do For Kids?
Pediatric dentistry provides support that suits the needs of the young patient receiving care. At their initial visit, this care focuses on making them feel at ease in the dentist’s chair. In addition to providing a careful visual examination, we can take care to make your little one feel comfortable in new surroundings. We can also talk with parents about how they can protect teeth as they begin to arrive. This initial visit should take place around the time the child’s first tooth arrives. At around the age of three, children should begin regular pediatric appointments. As they age, these appointments can resemble general dental exams more closely, but they also focus on concerns like evaluating their development, guiding them on good oral hygiene, and letting parents know if developmental matters like malocclusion will need to be addressed.
When To Bring Your Child For Their First Appointment
Before kids start regular pediatric dental visits, they should go in for an initial appointment by the time their first tooth arrives (and no later than their first birthday). An initial appointment gives you helpful early guidance on caring for their teeth as they start to arrive. It also helps your kid become familiar with the dentist’s office, as well as with having their teeth and gums gently evaluated. From this appointment, we can make plans to continue caring for them over time!
Make Sure You Book Care For Yourself And Your Kids!
Because our practice offers oral health care for patients of all ages, we can offer support to parents as well as their kids! General dentistry is important for as long as a person has a smile to protect. Adults benefit from continued reviews as well as cleanings that fight the accumulation of plaque and tartar.
