Your Children's Dental Health

Your Children's Dentist Helps Them Stay Healthy

We believe in teaching children good dental hygiene to prevent oral health problems. The best dentistry is less dentistry by preventing whatever problems you possibly can.

Children's teeth are susceptible to cavities for several reasons:

• They often do not brush as thoroughly as they need to. We ask parents to be a part of their daily care until they learn to do a good job.
• Children tend to eat more often throughout the day, referred to as "grazing." Every time you eat, acid is produced in the mouth. The more your teeth are exposed to this acid, the greater chance of developing cavities.
• If teeth are not as clean as they need to be, additional acid is produced, causing cavities to develop more quickly.
• We recommend improved hygiene habits, better dietary choices, and one application of a mineralizing sealant to greatly reduce the occurrence of cavities for your children.
