Preventive Care for Children

Preventive dental care is crucial for children, setting the stage for healthy oral hygiene habits and helping prevent common dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. At Select Dental Office, we specialize in preventive care for children, providing services and education to maintain healthy teeth and gums from an early age.

Why Preventive Care is Essential for Children

‍Early dental care promotes healthy development of permanent teeth, prevents the build-up of plaque and cavities, and can influence lifelong dental health habits. Starting regular dental visits at a young age reduces dental anxiety and familiarizes children with the dental office environment.

Comprehensive Preventive Services

• Regular Dental Examinations and Cleanings: To monitor dental development and prevent dental diseases through professional cleaning, which removes plaque and tartar that can't be brushed away.
• Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay occurs most often. Sealants keep out germs and food, providing a barrier against decay.
• Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride strengthens the enamel on your child's teeth, making it more resistant to decay and promoting remineralization.
• Nutritional Counseling: Guidance on foods that are beneficial or detrimental to oral health, helping parents and children make choices that support strong, healthy teeth.
• Oral Hygiene Education: Teaching children effective brushing and flossing techniques, tailored to their age and development.
• Sports Guards: Providing custom-fitted sports guards for children engaged in athletics, protecting their teeth and mouth from injury.
