Baby teeth may be small, but they play a significant role as placeholders for permanent teeth. That’s why it’s so important to keep them healthy.

Kids still learning to brush may have a hard time reaching back molars (i.e., teeth way in the back). In turn, trapped food and bacteria may lead to irreversible tooth damage.
Luckily, we have a safe and proven method of preventing cavities in kids with dental sealants. The safe coating creates a barrier on the biting surfaces of teeth to lock out bacteria and prevent tooth decay.

Crooked teeth and bad bites can be uncomfortable and cause airway issues. But did you know many types of misalignments can be fixed at a young age?
We recommend your child receives an orthodontic evaluation by the age of seven. Our dentist may be able to intervene while your child’s jaw is still developing to make treatment more comfortable and less invasive.

How can I help my child see a dentist?
To help your child see the dentist, remember to give positive reinforcement and don’t show any anxiety.
Let your child know that going to the dentist can be fun and that you’re with them every step of the way. Don’t use any scary language when describing what the dentist does.
For young kids, you can also bring a comfort item (like a favorite toy or stuffed animal). Our practice also invites parents to join first-timers and young patients in the treatment room to help them feel more comfortable.
If your child has unique needs due to a disability, please let us know ahead of time, and we’ll do our best to accommodate his or her needs. Your family’s in good hands at Magnolia Kid Friendly Dental.

When should children start going to the dentist, and how often?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child sees the dentist by his or her first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting.
Early dental visits help set the foundation for good oral hygiene and habits to promote a beautiful, healthy smile into adulthood. In addition, by visiting the dentist from a young age, your child will feel more comfortable, and we can prevent any fear or anxiety.
We’ll recommend the next follow-up visit and next steps, but most patients should come in for regular checkups and cleanings every six months.

What happens if kids don’t go to the dentist?
If kids don’t go to the dentist regularly, they’re at a greater risk of developing dental disease, cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Oral health is closely linked to overall health and may even lead to more serious complications, including heart disease, stroke, cancers, and diabetes.
Additionally, many problems associated with the teeth and gums are easily manageable if caught early. Our team takes a proactive approach to stop existing issues in their tracks and lead your child to a happy and healthy smile.
