The Foundation for Lifelong Oral Health
At Lakewood Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics in East Dallas, TX, we believe that the best approach to your child’s dental health is a proactive approach. Preventive care is essential for maintaining the oral health of our young patients. By focusing on prevention, we aim to minimize the need for more invasive treatments later on, ensuring a healthier smile for every child we see.
Comprehensive Preventive Dental Care for Children
- Regular Exams and Cleanings: Routine visits are vital to keeping your child’s teeth and gums healthy. During these appointments, we not only clean their teeth but also check for early signs of dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Catching problems early can prevent them from becoming more serious.
- Dental Sealants: Sealants are a quick, effective way to protect your child’s molars (their back teeth) from decay. Sealants are applied as a liquid and then harden to form a shield over the enamel of each tooth, blocking out food particles and plaque.
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and fight tooth decay. Our fluoride treatments are tailored to each child’s needs and are an excellent way to prevent cavities.
- Custom Mouthguards: For children involved in sports, we recommend custom mouthguards to protect their teeth and mouth from injury. Unlike store-bought options, custom mouthguards are designed to fit perfectly, providing optimal protection and comfort.
- Nutritional Counseling: Good nutrition is fundamental to good dental health. We provide counseling on healthy food choices that promote strong teeth and gums and discuss foods and habits that should be avoided to prevent dental problems.
- Education and Instruction: We take the time to teach both children and parents about effective oral hygiene practices, including proper brushing and flossing techniques. Our goal is to make dental care a fun and engaging part of your child’s daily routine.
- Early Intervention and Habit Management: Addressing habits such as thumb-sucking and pacifier use is crucial for maintaining proper oral development. Our team offers guidance and strategies to help manage these habits early, preventing potential long-term issues with your child’s teeth and jaw alignment.
