Children’s dentistry is vital to their overall wellness and comfort. It also helps instil a lifetime of healthy dental habits.
Our children’s dentist in Roseville recommends your child visit us every six months to help ensure their ongoing smile health. This is the same timeframe we recommend for adults.
5 Reasons Children’s Dentistry Is Crucial
#1 Healthy Teeth and a Pain-Free Smile
Undiagnosed tooth decay and other oral health conditions can cause pain, making it difficult for your child to concentrate in school and at home. By seeing the dentist regularly, we can help prevent painful oral health conditions that can distract and lead to tooth loss.
#2 Baby Teeth Make Way for Adult Teeth
You may think baby teeth are unimportant because they’ll be replaced in the future. However, baby teeth maintain space for adult teeth. If they are lost too soon due to lack of dental care, your child may experience oral health issues later, including orthodontic problems.
#3 Healthy Habits from the Start
Our family dentist in Roseville takes measures to instil healthy habits in your child from the very first visit. We speak to them in age-appropriate language about the importance of healthy teeth and gums and always praise them for a job well done.
#4 Ongoing Assessments
Regular dental care allows the dentist to continuously assess your child's oral development. This includes jawbone space and how teeth are erupting across the gum. By seeing your child regularly, we can intervene with early orthodontic measures as needed.
#5 Your Peace of Mind
The dentist always shares findings with you, so you won’t have to worry about new oral health developments. Additionally, we are always here to answer questions and share advice. If your child has a dental emergency, please know that you can count on us!
