Children's Dentistry
Dental health is just as important to children as it is to adults. As a family practice, we are focused on providing quality dental care for the entire family, including children as young as one year old.
Our belief of “First visit by the first birthday” sums it up. We know that brushing, flossing and regular dental exams will ensure that your children will grow up with healthy teeth and gums.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Here are some important dental facts pertaining to children:
- A child’s first tooth comes in between 6 and 12 months of age.
- “Baby Bottle Tooth Decay” – as soon the first tooth appears, a child is susceptible to tooth decay.
- Proper use of “sippy cups” can help prevent cavities.
- Recent studies have shown an increase of tooth decay in children between the ages of 2 and 5 years.
- Children should be evaluated for braces between 7 to 8 years of age.
- There are dental benefits to chewing gum!
Do you have a child playing sports? Ask us about custom-fit mouth guards to protect their teeth during play.
I brought my 4 year old to Dr. Johnson and found the experience to be better than I had hoped for.
