At Sapphire Dentistry, our staff loves working with kids and we strongly believe that a visit to the dentist should be a positive and enjoyable experience. Most of the staff here, being parents themselves, are experienced in teaching and relating to children about the importance of their teeth.
It is important to bring your children to the dentist as early as possible. This is to prevent and protect your child from tooth decay, ensure that their teeth develop correctly, and help them build a rapport with the dentist and become comfortable in the dental environment. This also helps to ensure that your child develops a positive lifelong dental experience as well as provide the beginnings of your child’s dental health history.
Educating parents on children’s dentistry
Bringing your child to the dentist is especially important for parents with a newborn. We will take the time to show you exactly how to keep your child’s oral health at its best. We know that there is a long list of things that a new mother or parent needs to know when it comes to your child’s oral health. Let us help you with this. When you bring a child in for a visit, we can:
- Review your child’s oral health history
- Perform a comprehensive oral health care exam for your infant or child
- Evaluate the risk of your infant or child developing tooth decay
- Clean your infant or child’s teeth
We can also provide consultation on how to care for your infant or child’s teeth, review your feeding practices, and discuss baby teething, pacifier use, and oral habits.
