Getting your child to their twice per year kids dental cleaning can sometimes be a struggle. Between juggling different schedules and managing other aspects of a parents life it is easy for this to get pushed aside or forgotten about. However, ensuring that kids have their bi-annual checkup with their dentist is very important even at an early age. Keeping a child's baby teeth healthy will help to be sure that their grown-up teeth are healthy, too!
Here, we make it as easy as possible to schedule a kids dental cleaning. Because we know the importance of having these visits we make it as easy and quick as possible!
During a kid’s dental cleaning is vital to ensure their baby teeth are kept healthy to make way for their permanent teeth. Although the baby teeth will eventually fall out, keeping them healthy is important.
One thing that a dentist will do, even with baby teeth, ensures that there is no decay forming during a kids dental cleaning. If this continues, it could lead to a cavity on the baby tooth. However, when it comes to baby teeth, the treatment can be a bit different. One difference is that if tooth decay is forming very, very slowly and it looks as if the tooth will fall out before it reaches the dentin and becomes a cavity the dentist may suggest that they wait for the baby tooth to come loose. However, this is on a patient to patient basis, and the dentist will inform the parent of the best course of action.
At the early ages, dentists put a lot of emphasis on brushing and flossing the teeth. This is to help younger patients become aware of how important it is to keep good dental hygiene practices. By doing this, the dentist knows they are setting their younger patients up for success for the rest of their life. If they already begin remembering to brush their teeth twice a day and floss, they will be in such a good spot for keeping their adult teeth healthy and free from tooth decay or any gum related issues.
