Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining the oral health of children, and at Keys Dental Specialists, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive instructions and guidance to help children establish good oral hygiene habits from an early age.
Regular brushing and flossing are the foundation of preventive dental care. Our dental professionals will educate your child on the importance of brushing their teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. We will demonstrate the correct brushing technique and emphasize the need to clean all tooth surfaces, including the front, back, and chewing surfaces. Additionally, we will stress the significance of flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and along the gumline.
A balanced diet plays a significant role in oral health. Our team will provide guidance on healthy eating habits and discuss the importance of limiting sugary snacks and beverages. We will encourage your child to choose tooth-friendly foods such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products that contribute to strong teeth and gums.
Regular dental check-ups are essential for preventive care. We recommend scheduling routine dental visits every six months. During these appointments, our dental professionals will perform thorough dental examinations, including screenings for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Dental X-rays may be taken periodically to assess the health and development of your child's teeth.
Fluoride treatments are another valuable preventive measure. Our team will assess your child's fluoride needs and provide professional fluoride applications to strengthen the tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments are typically recommended during routine dental check-ups.
To further protect your child's teeth, we may recommend dental sealants. These thin plastic coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, creating a protective barrier against bacteria and food particles. Sealants are particularly effective in preventing cavities in the deep grooves and crevices of the molars.
