What are Dental Sealants and how can they be helpful? Sealants are clear or shaded plastic applied to the teeth to help keep them cavity-free. Sealants fill in the grooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, which are hard to clean, and shut out food particles that could get caught, causing cavities. Fast and comfortable to apply, sealants can effectively protect teeth for many years.

Can thumbsucking be harmful to my child's teeth? Thumb and pacifier sucking habits that go on for a long period of time can create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problems. If they are still sucking their thumbs or fingers when the permanent teeth arrive, a mouth appliance may be recommended by your pediatric dentist. Most children stop these habits on their own.

What is baby bottle tooth decay and how can I prevent it?
Baby bottle tooth decay happens when sweetened liquids or those with natural sugars (like milk, formula, and fruit juice) cling to an infant's teeth for a long time. Bacteria in the mouth thrive on this sugar and make acids that attack the teeth. You may prevent this by wiping the baby's gums with a clean gauze pad or washcloth after each feeding, begin brushing your child's teeth, without toothpaste, when his or her first tooth comes in; If you choose to use toothpaste, use a fluoride-free one. Clean and massage gums in areas without teeth, floss once all the baby teeth have come in and schedule regular dental visits by your child's first birthday.

Why should my child see a Pediatric Dentist instead of our family dentist? Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on the oral health of young people. Following dental school, a pediatric dentist has two to three years of additional specialty training in the unique needs of infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special health needs.

As assessed by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend that a child’s first visit be by his/her first birthday. It is at this time that it is important to instill in the child a welcoming and comforting perception of the office. We’d like for your child to enjoy getting to know the doctor and staff in order to become comfortable with the idea of the dentist! A productive, pleasant first visit will help to ensure trust and future ease in coming for appointments. The doctors and staff will be more than happy to explain to the child any questions, anxieties or fears that they may have. We want our office to be a fun environment!

We will record the child’s dental and medical history, complete a comprehensive examination and discuss any findings with you. We will also review the importance of maintaining a good dental health program with you and your child to ensure that we get started on the right track to maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile for life!

How do I clean my baby's teeth? A toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head, especially one designed for infants, is the best choice for infants. Brushing at least once a day, at bedtime, will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to decay.
