Preventative Care for Children in Vienna, VA
For our pediatric patients, preventative care is extremely important. During each preventative visit with our young patients, we not only provide thorough cleanings and examinations to find any problems, we also educate.
As a young patient visits us throughout their childhood, we have a chance to teach them how to protect their teeth. Here are some of the ways we can help them or their parents avoid future problems:
- Give instructions on brushing and flossing properly
- Explain to parents and children why thumb-sucking can damage the child’s bite
- Provide BPA-free sealants or fluoride treatments to prevent decay
- Recommend athletic mouthguards for children involved in sports
- Teach which foods will support dental health and which will damage it
- Early referral for orthodontic care
A Lifetime of Healthy Teeth
One of the best reasons to bring a child in for routine preventative care is that it instills in them a very healthy habit: regularly seeing the dentist. Regular visits for cleanings and examinations are the best way to support a lifetime of healthy teeth.
We know how to keep each visit fun and light! We want our patients to look forward to visiting the dentist’s office. That intention is carried out in the design of our office, the training of every staff member and the way we approach both education and treatment.
