Children Also Need To Floss
Last week we did a reminder post on proper brushing for kids of all ages. Now, we would like to take a look at an even more important oral hygiene habit: flossing! Children need to begin flossing at an early age, and keep this habit up, in order to avoid issues like cavities or even gum inflammation. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist will discuss proper flossing methods.
The Importance Of A Dental Cleaning
Our last blog briefly touched on dental cleaning, but we think this topic needs more attention. A dental cleaning is helpful for kids of all ages, and could be crucial for avoiding poor oral health issues, ranging from tooth decay to gingivitis in older children. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist is discussing the importance of a regular dental cleaning visit.
How a Dental Crown Can Protect Tiny Smiles
Emphasizing the importance in keeping up with oral health and hygiene from a young age is an excellent step toward acquiring a beautiful, lifelong smile. While children’s teeth are growing and developing, procedures such as sealants and fluoride treatments may be utilized to give an extra boost in strength. When cavities and worse arise, however, even greater preventive measures may be pursued. At Pediatric Dental Care at Casa Linda in Dallas, TX, we aim to prioritize your little one’s smile by helping establish great oral health habits and protections from a young age, including the utilization of a crown.
Treatments To Give Your Child’s Smile A Boost Of Strength
Practicing excellent oral health habits at home such as regularly flossing and brushing is a great way to get children excited about their oral health as well as maintenance. Younger smiles need great attention, from being conscious about sugar and soda intake to being on top of hygiene. With this in mind, however, there are methods to giving your little one’s smile an added boost of protection, such as with a dental crown or other procedure. The team at Pediatric Dental Care at Casa Linda in Dallas, TX prioritizes your child’s grin, and offers treatments to help give their beam a boost of strength.
When Your Child Grinds Their Teeth Too Often
There are plenty of things to worry about when it comes to keeping your child’s smile healthy, such as teaching them good hygiene practices and helping them prevent cavity formation. However, some things are out of your control or ability to help them prevent, and the best thing you can do to preserve your child’s smile is to address them as soon as possible with appropriate dental treatment. For example, if your child grinds their teeth constantly, it may be a sign that they have bruxism and might need their dentist’s help to prevent causing their teeth extensive damage. (more…)
How Candy Can Cause Oral Bacteria To Spread
The leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground, the weather has gotten significantly cooler, and Fall is officially upon us. With Halloween just around the corner, we are officially in the holiday season. The only thing on most children’s minds, more likely than not, is trick-or-treating, and finding out what this year’s haul will bring them in the form of goodies and sweet treats. Because of this, we at Pediatric Dental Care in Casa Linda in Dallas, Texas want to provide some important information on candy and your child’s oral health so that you can celebrate the holidays safely.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Instilling upon children at a young age that oral health and hygiene is very important, and making sure a routine is followed reduces the risk of developing problems that require extensive treatment later on. While you may be following good habits, keep in mind that dental emergencies such as chipped, cracked, broken, or even knock-out teeth, can occur at any given time. While experiencing an event such as this can be frightening and you may not know what to do, know the team at Pediatric Dental Care at Casa Linda in Dallas, Texas know just what to do in the event of an emergency and are ready to help.
