Early access to dental care can help your child enjoy strong teeth well into adulthood. Waiting until your son or daughter has a toothache can make it stressful to find the best family dentist. That’s why we’ve brought affordable pediatric dental care to you here at sahaja Dental .
Your child can enjoy comprehensive care that eliminates dental diseases early, reduces the number of trips they need to the dentist later on, and decreases the amount that you spend on dental care.
Complete Dental Care for Your Kids
It may surprise you to know that children’s teeth begin to develop before they’re even born. In fact, most babies start growing teeth between 3 to 6 months of pregnancy! By the time your baby is born, they already have a complete set of primary teeth (or milk teeth) that are hidden within their gums. Then, at around 6 months old, the first tooth will erupt from the gum, which is commonly referred to as ‘teething’.
Preparing Your Child for a Dental Checkup
Preparing your child for a dental checkup is essential for a smooth and successful visit. At Sahaja Dental Clinic, we understand the importance of a positive and stress-free experience for your child. Our experienced pediatric dentist recommends the following tips for preparing your child for their visit:
- Keep a positive attitude and avoid using fear tactics or bribes. Emphasize the importance of dental health and make the visit seem enjoyable.
- Ensure your child has eaten before the appointment to avoid any discomfort.
- If your child feels anxious, our pediatric dentists can provide suggestions to make the visit more comfortable, such as allowing your child to sit on your lap.
- Take advantage of the visit to ask our dentists questions about your child’s oral health and how to prevent any potential issues.
Protect Your Child’s Teeth with Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your kid’s teeth from cavities. At Sahaja Dental Clinic, we recommend sealants for children who are at a higher risk of tooth decay, especially on permanent teeth, molars, and premolars.
Our pediatric dental specialists can advise you if your child needs dental sealants. The procedure is painless and quick, with the protective coating lasting up to 5 years. It works by creating a barrier against bacteria and plaque buildup on the back teeth and chewing surfaces, preventing decay and promoting healthier teeth. While dental sealants are an effective preventive measure, good oral hygiene habits are still crucial. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential for maintaining healthy teeth.
