Even Baby Teeth Need Dentistry Treatments
Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth and in some ways, even more so. They’re vital for speech development and emotional well-being, affect children’s social ties, and most importantly, allow kids to have a healthy diet. Without healthy teeth, children can experience nutritional deficiencies.
Baby teeth are placeholders for adult teeth. They need to stay in place until the adult teeth are ready to come in. If those baby teeth fall out too soon, the adult ones can grow in crooked or out of place. During your first child’s visit, Dr. Guzman will answer all your questions and explain his philosophy about caring for children’s teeth.
Signs Your Child Is Ready for the Dentist
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children see a dentist by their first birthday or by the time their first tooth is in. This first visit is primarily a developmental check to make sure there are no issues as teeth emerge.
There’s no need to wait until your child has a toothache to plan a trip to the dentist. In fact, if you wait until there is a problem, it could be too late. It’s better to bring your child for their first dental visit while they’re feeling fine. This way, your child won’t associate dental care with pain and the dentist will have a chance to identify problems before they can cause your child discomfort.
The first visit includes reviewing your child’s complete health and dental history. The dentist will check bite development and look for signs of decay. Your child may qualify to receive a basic dental cleaning that very day, as well. Older kids will learn about potential braces options. You’ll learn more about ways to improve your child’s oral hygiene to promote a healthier smile.
If any dental treatments are necessary, Dr. Guzmán will let you know what your child’s options are and when to take action.
You’ll get answers to all of your questions about your child’s dental health and talk about preventative procedures like dental sealants and fluoride treatments.
