Lifelong oral hygiene habits begin with a foundation of early dental care. From the time your son or daughter is between one and two years of age, he or she should begin visiting your local Natick, MA dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings. Early pediatric dentistry helps ensure that your little one’s smile stays happy and healthy for years to come.

Why is Children’s Dentistry So Important?

While you do everything you can at home to maintain your kids’ oral health – including brushing and flossing at night before bed – there are a number of reasons to bring them in for regular dental visits as well. Throughout the childhood years, teeth, gums and jaws are still developing. Our experienced oral care professionals examine your little one’s entire dentition, looking closely for signs of proper growth and problems like tooth decay.

Because we believe that prevention is the best medicine, particularly for little smiles, we may recommend dental sealants to protect against cavities. Optional fluoride treatments help fortify developing enamel, further reducing your child’s potential need for fillings or crowns. Regular cleanings at your dentist’s office supplement all of the brushing, flossing, and rinsing you do at home.
