Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric focuses on the children’s unique dental needs. Getting a pediatric dentist early in life helps their oral health care as they grow and develop. It prevents cavities and gum disease along with addressing any mouth injuries. Pediatric dentists are trained to communicate and work with children so they make dental visits positive and less stressful. They can reduce dental fear and that helps children as they become adults and responsible for their oral health care.

Pediatric dentistry can detect developmental problems early. They monitor how teeth and jaws are growing, can spot problems with an alignment or bite, and provide intervention that helps avoid invasive procedures. Protective treatments like fluoride and sealants can help young teeth. Pediatric dentistry at 11 Dental helps children grow with strong, healthy smiles that will last a lifetime.

Preparing Your Child for a Dental Visit

Help them maintain good oral hygiene at home. Show them how to properly brush their teeth and ensure they do it twice a day. Show them how to floss and help them do it properly. Tell them teeth and gums are important for life.
Be positive about the dental visit. Don’t show your dental anxieties to your child because they will transfer. Be honest about what is going to happen and why.
Consider sedation if your child is fidgety or anxious. Discuss and plan it with the dentist beforehand and explain it to your child. Tell them they will get sleepy and won’t remember the procedure.
