Preventive dental care for children

Preventive dentistry means a healthy smile. Preventive dental care for children includes:

  •     Proper nutrition and dietary habits
  •     Brushing and flossing
  •     Fluoride
  •     Regular dental check-ups
  •     Assessing risk for developing cavities
  •     Evaluating oral growth and development
  •     Oral health education
  •     Protection against injuries
  •     Management of oral habits
  •     Guidance of erupting teeth
  •     Sealants 


Your pediatric dentist practices preventive dentistry. Preventive dentistry for children, in addition to regular dental visits, requires parental involvement with daily oral care at home.
