Baby teeth are important teeth, forming a foundation for good oral health and smile aesthetics that last a lifetime. The professionals at Frederick Cosmetic & Family Dentistry inFrederick, MD loveserving young patients through innovative and gentle pediatric dentistry. We carefully evaluateand treatteeth, gums and even developing bone structure for best functioning and best looking young smiles.
Parental involvement in kids' oral health helps prevent tooth decay--the number one chronic health problem in American children. The staff at Frederick Cosmetic & Family Dentistryteaches kids and parents that mom and dad must brush toddlers' teeth for them and supervise kids at least up to the age of 8. Twice daily brushing with a soft-bristled brush and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste is the rule, and parents must realize that young children do not have the dexterity to brush and floss by themselves.
Our staff also stresses nutritious, low-sugar diets and drinking plenty of water to wash tooth surfaces and promote theproduction of saliva. Saliva keeps teeth and gums clean--important in between meals and during the night.
Additionally, the pediatric dentist often recommends fluoride treatments and plastic sealants for young teeth--particularly molars that have intricately-grooved chewing surfaces. These simple 'painted-on' dental materials quickly and comfortably provide protection against decay, and for adults, fluoride reduces dental sensitivity.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises that any decay found in children's teeth be treated. The health and development of baby teeth impacthow their adult teeth look, function and erupt into the mouth. Furthermore, it's wise for children to receive a complete orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early orthodontic treatment wards off problems from crooked teeth later on in life--decay, gum disease, and self-image issues specifically. Early intervention takes advantage of the developing jaw, making treatment easier and less complex than older teen or adult treatment.
