Since February is National Children's Dental Health Month, I thought it would be a good idea to review the importance of regular dental visits for kids. When a child visits the dentist, it is an opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of preventive dentistry. A complete professional cleaning is important because a child may not be able to brush all areas of the teeth. Plaque and tartar between the teeth can cause cavities and irritate young gum tissue. We like to provide flouride treatments as soon as the child can tolerate the procedure. This will make tooth enamel resist decay. If we find areas of the teeth that are trapping plaque or food debris, like the surfaces of the molars, bonded plastic sealants can protect them.
