Once your child grows older and is more experienced with keeping their smile healthy on their own, you can worry less about having to micromanage their daily hygiene routines. However, until then, and even after to some extent, children may need additional help to keep their smiles healthy beyond what you can offer them at home. Today, we examine a few ways in which your child might need help maintaining their healthy smiles, and how we can provide that help in a comfortable and kid-friendly environment. (more…)
Timing is everything when it comes to preventing or treating oral health concerns, especially when it comes to your child’s smile. For example, when your child develops a cavity in a tooth, the reason can often be due to infrequently timed or inconsistent dental hygiene practices, or too-frequent exposure to sugary foods and beverages. The extent of the cavity in your child’s tooth also depends on the time it’s had to develop and progress, and how much of the tooth’s structure has decayed. Today, we explain three ways in which time matters most when your child develops a cavity, and why addressing it as soon as possible is the best course of action. (more…)
Each Friday, we like to take a little break from our traditional dental topics to talk about the Dallas community.

In the meantime, be sure you schedule a checkup for your child with your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist.
You won’t always be responsible for ensuring your child properly cleans their teeth every day. As they get older, it will become their own responsibility, and the most you can do is teach them to do it correctly. However, good teeth brushing and flossing habits can only go so far, and your child should also learn the important role their dentist plays in helping them prevent things like cavities from forming. Today, we explore a few preventive measures beyond good dental hygiene that we can utilize to help protect and preserve your child’s healthy smile longer. (more…)
For the most part, consistent dental care for children isn’t typically complex. Like dental care for adults, the most frequent need is to practice good dental hygiene and receive preventive care on a consistent basis. However, children can sometimes develop problems with their healthy, natural tooth structure, and when they do, it’s important to address them as soon as possible to preserve their healthy smiles. Today, we examine a few times when your child’s smile may need restorative treatment in order to stop a problem from getting worse, and why it’s important for your child to receive treatment as soon as possible.

When we see little smiles with cavities, we often address the problem in one visit with a simple filling. But what if a tooth has more than a cavity, what if a severe infection or abscess has developed? In these scenarios, which would normally call for an endodontic procedure known as a root canal, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist offers a conservative option known as a pulpotomy!
