Developing good dental habits and maintaining a healthy mouth starts early. The America Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends young children visit the dentist for a checkup no later than age one. They also recommend a checkup every six months. Starting early helps children get used to visiting the dentist and helps identify problems early.
Prairie Hawk Dental at the Meadows welcomes patients of all ages including pediatric patients. Even very young children can develop tooth decay and cavities. Practicing good dental habits early helps reduce the risk of developing problems later in life. Dr. Aaron Goodman and his caring staff will be happy to educate parents on ways to keep your child cavity free and prevent tooth decay.
One of our primary goals with pediatric patients is heading off potential problems before they start. For example, we offer sealants, which help protect the molars. The molars, which are the teeth in the back of the mouth, can be difficult to reach. Sealants, which involve placing a liquid on the teeth, act as a barrier between the teeth and bacteria. Sealants are a great way to prevent decay on the molars.
If you have children involved in sports, we also offer custom made mouth guards. Children of all ages who participate in any type of sport where contact is possible, such as basketball, football, baseball and soccer, should wear a mouth guard. Mouth guards protect the teeth from damage.
Maintaining good dental health is a lifelong process, which should start at an early age. At Prairie Hawk Dental, we are committed to providing exceptional dentistry for your entire family.
