Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Care for Your Child
Taking care of your child’s smile is important and begins with finding a caring and experienced team. Good oral health for children sets them up for a lifetime of healthy habits (and healthy smiles!). At Hope Dental Care Centre, in Kanata, Ontario, Drs. Alireza Farkhondeh and Gang Wang are here to help your child have a positive start.
Why Does My Child Need a Pediatric Dentist?
So, what’s the big deal with a pediatric dentist? It really comes down to their special training. They know how to handle the specific dental needs of babies, kids, and teens. Because they work with children all day, they are skilled at making them feel comfortable. A pediatric dentist can also spot potential jaw growth or tooth alignment issues before they become bigger problems.
How Often Should My Child See a Pediatric Dentist?
Most children should have a dental checkup every six months. These regular visits are important for more than just checking for cavities. Our dentists can also monitor the development of your child’s teeth and jaw during these appointments.
What Services Does Your Office Have for Kids?
The team offers these services and more:
- Routine checkups and cleanings
- Fluoride treatment
- Dental sealants
- Prevent and fill cavities
- Referrals to an orthodontist
How Do Early Dental Visits Benefit Oral Health For Children?
Starting dental visits early greatly impacts your child’s oral health. It’s the number one way to prevent cavities and tooth decay. Also, the dentist can apply sealants and fluoride to protect their teeth. But it’s not just about teeth. Poor oral health can be linked to other health problems further down the road, like heart disease and diabetes.
