Starting kids off with a positive dental experience is important, and that’s our goal here at Flagsmile. We like to see children as soon as they start having baby teeth come through, as a preventative consultation and to discuss with their parents things they can do now to set the foundation for healthy teeth in the future.
We offer the full range of dental care for children, beginning with their first-ever visit to the dentist. We provide ongoing preventative care, as well as care after trauma. We check for tongue ties and lip ties, and we address childhood teeth grinding. If your child does have a cavity, we offer white fillings as an option. For nervous or anxious children, we offer nitrous oxide sedation to help them feel more comfortable.
There are many things we can do while your child still has their baby teeth to help set the stage for healthy adult teeth. This is why we stress the importance of getting regular dental care whilst your child is still young. Did you know that baby teeth act as space maintainers for adult teeth? This means if baby teeth are decayed or removed too early, this can contribute to future crowding or damage for the underlying adult teeth. Many issues can be minimized or prevented with early assessment and intervention. We usually recommend taking X-rays every two years to ensure we identify any issues that could affect adult teeth.
We love treating children. We focus on creating a positive environment for children during their dental visits. Our goal is to help children feel comfortable and positive about their dental visits.
We play cartoons or other shows on our ceiling TVs, we have squishy balls, and we play games with kids. For very apprehensive or nervous kids, nitrous oxide may help children feel calmer during treatment. We also love to involve siblings, having them help us count their sibling’s teeth and being our “little helper.”
Our dentists focus on education for kids and parents about the importance of taking care of your teeth and gums to avoid problems in the future. So let’s work together toward healthy smiles.
