Giving Everyone A Positive Experience
Who you choose to take care of your child makes a big impact on their future. That’s why you spent so long trying to figure out the perfect pediatrician; it’s also why you want to find the right pediatric dental provider to give them a positive experience and keep them on the right oral health path. Once they start to develop their teeth, things start moving quickly, and they are at risk of encountering some of the same issues that you face when you skip your brushing and flossing.
Here at Pediatric Dental Care at Casa Linda, we understand the importance of keeping up with your child’s oral health needs. From the time that their very first teeth erupt to the development of their wisdom teeth, there are a ton of changes that go on in little smiles, and we are here to help you navigate their growth. Just like you do, your little ones need to see their provider twice each year for a thorough cleaning and examination, so spend a little time with a trusted, local pediatric dental team.
Children develop their oral health habits at an early age. Keep them on a positive schedule of checkups with Pediatric Dental Care at Casa Linda!
Their Experience Starts From The Moment You Walk In
Sometimes, children experience some anxiety when it is time to visit the dental office. If they are already on edge by the time you see their pediatric dentist, it can make their routine appointments into a big event, and that’s no help for anyone. By working together with their dentist to create a positive experience for your child, you can show them that taking care of their health is an important step, but not something to fear.
Our office also knows that when you’re waiting with a child, it’s important for it to be comfortable. That’s why we put so much effort into creating a flowing, convenient space for parents and children alike. We’ve got tons of things for them to do while you wait, helping to start your visit on the right foot.
Enjoy Their First Visits In A Private, Comfy Environment
Once you come back to meet with your child’s pediatric dentist, we have special rooms waiting for our littlest patients. We want them to feel at ease while they are in the office, and we know that loud noises and unfamiliar machines might be a bit much. Instead, we can see them in a dedicated treatment area where it feels a little more fun. With books, toys, and some privacy for you and your baby, the dentist’s office has an opportunity to be more exciting and less scary.
Learning Their Oral Health Maintenance Schedule
As a parent, it can be tough to know where to start. You certainly know how to brush and floss your own teeth, but wrangling a toddler is an entirely different situation. If you are having a rough experience trying to get them to brush, ask our office for some tips. We know that this is an entirely new feeling for fresh parents, and we are here to help you learn the ropes as well.
Children should start seeing their pediatric dentist around the time that their first teeth begin erupting. And if you still have not seen any teeth by the time of their first birthday, then they are ready for a checkup as well. Then, after their initial visit, you need to keep them on a similar schedule as your own checkups and come in twice a year for a cleaning and exam.
Applying A Fluoride Treatment
At their appointment, you have the option to help your little one avoid cavities through the application of a fluoride varnish. This helps them to avoid cavities as they learn to care for their smile, and it takes just a minute for our team to apply. These treatments are generally safe for children, and they seriously reduce the risk of cavity development.
