What is preventive dentistry for children?
Preventive dentistry focuses on preventing dental problems and ensuring healthy smiles for children as they grow. By emphasizing early care and education, it helps reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Here are the key ways Dr. Randy provides preventive care:
Routine dental cleanings and exams
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar, preventing cavities and gum disease. Exams allow early detection of dental issues, ensuring timely treatment.
Fluoride treatments
Fluoride strengthens enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay. This quick and painless treatment helps protect developing teeth, especially in children.
Dental sealants to protect teeth from cavities
Sealants create a protective barrier on molars and premolars, preventing cavities in deep grooves. They are a simple, effective way to safeguard teeth from decay.
Oral hygiene education for parents and children
Teaching proper brushing, flossing, and healthy habits promotes lifelong oral health. Parents and children gain the knowledge needed to prevent dental problems at home.
