A Tooth Extraction Could Help Your Child’s Smile
As we’ve discussed in our blog, we often try to preserve teeth that have become decayed or infected. But sometimes, issues grow so severe that the tooth could need to be removed to prevent complications. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist talks about tooth extraction for kids.
Does A Child Ever Need An Extraction?
A tooth extraction means we gently and carefully remove a tooth from a child’s smile. When an issue arises that cannot be addressed with a dental crown or filling, then taking out a tooth could protect the smile from serious complications. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist talks about when we prescribed them, and how we perform this procedure.
Providing Routine Pediatric Teeth Cleanings
Until they are old enough to effectively brush and floss on their own, kids will depend on their parents to stop plaque and tartar from gathering on their teeth.

At our Dallas, TX pediatric dentist’s office, we provide support through gentle, thorough dental cleanings that help kids avoid troubles like dental decay and gum disease. These sessions are included in their regular checkups, which also provide important feedback about their health and ongoing development. (more…)
When An Extraction Could Help Your Child

How to Help Your Child Brush Their Teeth Better
Good dental hygiene practices aren’t necessarily difficult to adhere to, but for children, they can seem mundane. This can make it more challenging to teach them to stick to good dental hygiene practices every day, or help them develop habits that will benefit their smiles in the future. Fortunately, children will become more adept at keeping their teeth clean on their own as they grow older, especially if you continue to help them improve their techniques for brushing and flossing their teeth.

What’s the Most Important Part of Your Child’s Tooth?
There are several reasons why consistently clean teeth are the basis of a continuously healthy smile. One of these is your child’s need for consistently strong and healthy tooth enamel.
