Thank you to Dr. Spillers, Dr. Duvall, and team, for our holiday snacks! Merry Christmas!

Congratulations to Logan, our November Kudos winner!! Thank you for all that you do! 🥇

For more than 60 years, Sunbeam bread, a product of the Quality Bakers of America, has changed its marketing just after Thanksgiving to add an image of Little Miss Sunbeam bowing her head in prayer. The caption, a quote from Jesus Christ in Matthew 4:4, reads “Not By Bread Alone.” This special packaging marks the company’s long tradition of reflecting on the holidays. I just absolutely think this is so refreshing and beautiful.

According to a recent study, the majority of Americans, including children, do not receive enough calcium. Getting enough dairy is essential for young children to develop healthy, strong teeth!

Important Pediatric Dentistry Preventive Treatments

A pediatric dental office specializes in caring for children’s oral health. These dentists also educate parents on how to teach their children oral hygiene at home. The dentist offers suggestions for regular brushing, supervision and additional preventive treatments. Oral hygiene includes brushing, flossing and mouthwash use depending on the child’s age and abilities.

The reality is that adults and children have different dental needs. Children range from getting their first baby teeth to losing their baby teeth and growing permanent teeth. Children under 2, between 2 and 6 and those older than 6 have different oral health needs.

🦷 Different Stages Require Different Steps 🦷

The age and abilities of the child need consideration when discussing the options available. Pediatric dentistry treatments and maintenance help keep kids healthy and avoid bad breath, prevent cavities and develop good teeth-care habits.

🐸 Children under 2
Parents should wipe the gums of their babies twice a day. This helps them get used to something being in their mouth. It is also essential to removing sugar and bacteria that can cause cavities even before teeth erupt. Once the first teeth start appearing, parents should use a small toothbrush with soft bristles with water. Ideally, children should see a pediatric dentist before their first birthday.

🪥 Children between 2 and 6
As children grow, they can begin to start brushing their own teeth. Training toothbrushes and toothpaste are a good starting point. Watch your child brush to ensure they learn good techniques. It may even be a good idea for you to brush the child’s teeth once a day and have your child practice the other time they brush.

The dentist may suggest using a pediatric dentistry treatment such as sealants to help protect the teeth from cavities. During this time, dentists typically begin to suggest the elimination of pacifiers, bottles and thumb sucking.

🩻 Children over 6
Permanent teeth begin to arrive at the age of 6 or 7. Regular dental checkups twice a year, with dental X-rays annually, help the dentist spot cavities and oral health problems. Permanent teeth do not always come in straight and sometimes not at all. X-rays can detect where permanent teeth are in addition to identifying other issues.

🦠 Dental Treatments
Healthychildren.org reports that childhood dental caries are more common than other childhood diseases. This infectious disease can cause a lifetime of pain and complications for the child. A pediatric dentist has the knowledge to look for the signs of the disease and offer a treatment plan. There are other preventive treatments a dentist may suggest for the child.

📌These include:
Tooth repair
Orthodontic referral to correct an improper bite or crooked teeth
Dental injury care
Fluoride treatments
Diet and nutrition recommendations
Management of gum conditions and diseases

Pediatric dentistry can prevent a lifetime of issues
Pediatric dentistry preventative maintenance and treatments can help your child develop healthy oral hygiene habits. Call our office to learn more about pediatric dentistry and to schedule an appointment.

According to the American Association of Pediatric Dentists, it’s recommended that kids go in for their first oral health checkup when their baby teeth first begin to emerge or by the time their first birthday comes around. 🦷🪥

Though it may seem early, this visit is essential to ensure your child doesn’t have any signs of gum or tooth decay and that their teeth are erupting and developing properly. Baby teeth can begin emerging as early as six months, so make sure their dental appointment isn’t far behind!

Fall is peeking around the corner! Why not fall into better oral health? 🍂🍁

The key to healthy teeth is starting the right habits at a young age. Teaching your kids proper oral hygiene and limiting foods and drinks that can hurt their teeth sets them up for healthy teeth as adults. One of the easiest ways to make dental hygiene an easy habit is to make it fun! Setting a timer, buying toothbrushes of your kids’ favorite colors or characters, and toothpaste with fun flavors and playing music or videos while brushing are just some ways you can help your kids look forward to brushing and flossing.
