Kids Dentistry
Regular checkups and cleanings keep smiles shining on
Your child’s first tooth means it’s time for your child’s first dental appointment. And many more to come, too. Kids should have regular checkups at least twice a year so our pediatric dental experts can help catch or prevent tooth decay and other problems early. Catching and treating these problems from the start can help prevent more serious problems down the line.
Cavities, sealed out
While brushing is paramount to stopping cavities, it’s not always possible to reach every nook and cranny. Back molars are especially tricky. They’re hard to reach, and the perfect hiding spots for stray food particles and cavity-causing bacteria. That’s where sealants come in. Sealants are a thin, protective coating that reduces and prevents cavities, and they’re perfect for helping kids stay cavity-free.
Getting sealants is an easy, painless process. The dentist may also apply fluoride, a treatment to strengthens your child’s teeth. It’s all in a day’s treatment at Brident!
Did you know? The American Dental Association (ADA) says sealants applied to molars can reduce cavity risk by up to 80%.
Little teeth are our extra-big responsibility
Laying the foundations for a lifelong healthy smile starts within just six months of your baby’s first tooth, but no later than your child’s first birthday. From babies to teens and everything in between, kids need extra attention in a safe, kid-friendly place to ensure their adult smiles shine all their lives.
Keeping little nibblers nibbling is one of our favorite parts of our job, and we take it very seriously.
