Description

It is important that children develop good oral habits as they can continue with these habits into adulthood and help them maintain healthy and clean teeth. It is commonly assumed that baby teeth are not as important because they will eventually fall out, but the condition of one's baby teeth may impact the development of their adult teeth! Our Mississauga dentists suggest that your child's first dental appointment should be around the age of 1 (or when their first teeth start coming out). During the child's dental appointment, our dentist will examine the condition of their teeth and gums. They will provide dental cleaning with topical fluoride and some information on how to continue good oral hygiene at home. Taking proper care of your child's oral health is of utmost importance to prevent tooth decay or damage. When it comes to common dental problems among children, the most common issues are tooth decay, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, lip sucking, and early tooth loss. We offer all common children's dentistry services in Mississauga: Check-ups: Your Mississauga dentist will check your child's dental health thoroughly each visit to get a good understanding of how your child's evolving dental health. Examinations: When needed, the dentist examines your child's teeth, jaws, bite, gums, and oral tissues to determine whether a certain treatment is needed. Fillings or Extractions: Sweets are known to be hard on a child's teeth. Therefore, it is common for your dentist to use a filling material to fix your child's teeth. Different techniques will be applied to eliminate the decay and to clean out the affected area. In some cases, the dentist will consider having your child's teeth extracted when this benefits the future dental health of your child. Orthodontics: This service has become more common over the past 20 years. Orthodontics are a great way to promote a healthy, functional bite, and to add clear speech as well as guaranteeing a beautiful smile. Sealants: This is an efficient method that can protect your child's teeth and it can act as a wall to avert cavities from forming. How we make your child feel at ease?
