Dentistry for children at myFACE
Adults and children with healthy mouths have a better chance of good general health. Oral conditions can interfere with eating and adequate nutritional intake, speaking, self-esteem, and daily activities. Severe decay can affect growth and development. Children with dental pain may be unable to concentrate in school. A healthy mouth is more attractive, giving adults and children confidence in their appearance. Finally, preventive dentistry can result in less extensive - and less expensive - treatment for you and your child.
At myFACE preventive dentistry begins with the first tooth. Daily cleaning of the teeth should begin as soon as the first tooth erupts. Visit myFACE at the eruption of the first tooth or no later than 12 months of age to establish a dental rapport. Early dental visits are the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. The earlier the dental visit, the better the chance of preventing dental disease and helping your child build a cavity-free smile.
After completing a thorough dental health check and assessing your risk for developing cavities, Tim will design a personalized preventive program of home care for you and your child. This program will include brushing and flossing instructions, diet counseling and, if necessary, fluoride recommendations. By following these directions, you can help give you and your child a lifetime of healthy habits
