Pediatric Dentistry in Crestview Hills: Super Smiles For Life

Pediatric Dentistry in Crestview Hills

Your child should be naturally proud of his or her smile. It expresses joy, laughter, and fun! To make sure your child has a healthy and attractive smile, start early.

Preparing for Pediatric Dentistry in Crestview Hills

Our team recommends a child’s first dental visit when their first tooth erupts. An early check is the first step in preventing problems and setting the stage for lifelong dental health. Dr. Soper will keep the visit short, but perform a thorough visual examination to make sure there are no concerns.

Dr. Soper will also advise you on good dental procedures at home, such as correct brushing and flossing. You will also be guided regarding healthy eating choices and the consequences of poor choices. It is especially important to keep your toddler from eating sticky or hard candies that lodge in molars and spaces between teeth. It is also important to monitor the amount of juice they drink and keep it in a cup instead of a bottle.

Any time sugary foods or drinks are in contact with teeth, the enamel is weakened from the acid those substances contain. Prolonged exposure begins to wear the enamel away, setting the stage for cavities. Unlike broken bones that heal, once enamel is gone, it’s gone. Although fluoride can remineralize weakened enamel to a small degree.

Other important habits are to brush and floss your teeth in front of your child. Let them see that it is a priority and a comfortable habit in your life. Brush their teeth with a soft bristled brush and a small amount of toothpaste. Let them try it, but always go over their teeth afterward, making sure each tooth is brushed. When finished, give them a cup of water to help rinse the toothpaste out.
