Preventive dentistry is especially important for children. Instilling excellent oral hygiene practices and a good diet at an early age will better prepare your child for a lifetime of dental health. Considering that children's permanent teeth are still forming, dentists take extra measures to ensure your child enjoys a healthy smile.
When practiced consistently, preventive dentistry can prevent pain, save money and prepare children to keep their teeth for a lifetime. And considering that oral health is linked to overall health, preventive dentistry can keep dental diseases from affecting your child’s well-being long after they’re grown. So if you don't already have an established preventive dentistry program, get started today -- it's never too late to improve your child’s dental health.
