How to prevent tooth decay?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child visit a pediatric dentist within six months of eruption of the first primary tooth. Early examination and preventive care will protect your child's smile now and in the future.

The prevention of dental disease is an important consideration during the first few visits. In our office, we also discuss gum diseases and explain how to avoid them or how to minimize damage if it already has started. We will discuss a program of preventive home care including brushing, flossing, diet control, and the importance of fluoride.
