The ADA recommends that parents take children to a dentist when the first tooth comes in or their first birthday, whichever comes first. Good oral care is essential from the very beginning when a baby tooth is lost too early, the permanent teeth can drift into the empty space and make it difficult for other adult teeth to find the room when they come in. This can make teeth crooked or crowded. That’s just one of the many reasons why starting infants off with good oral care can help protect their teeth for decades to come.
At Signature Dental, we are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care for children, ensuring that their journey to a lifetime of healthy smiles begins on the right note. Regular checkups and oral cleanings are fundamental to our pediatric dental services, designed to maintain and improve your child’s oral health from an early age.
Why Regular Pediatric Checkups Matter
Routine dental checkups allow us to monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums. Our dental professionals conduct thorough examinations to detect potential issues such as cavities, misalignments, or gum disease. Early detection and intervention can prevent minor problems from becoming major concerns, saving your child from discomfort and more extensive treatments in the future.
Comprehensive Oral Cleanings
Oral cleanings are crucial to maintaining oral health. Our gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing might miss. Cleanings also help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, keeping your child’s teeth strong and healthy. We use child-friendly techniques and equipment to make the experience comfortable and stress-free for your little ones.
