Your child’s smile can light up a room and warm hearts in seconds. A Grandparent’s pride and joy; and a welcome sight to parents at the end of a stressful day. But did you know that the childhood disease that is robbing children of their smiles – is tooth decay. Once thought to be a thing of the past – thanks to fluoride and sealants – the reality is that dental decay is alive and well in young patients and having a SE Calgary Dentist that focuses on pediatric dentistry may be your first line of defense in ensuring your child’s teeth are healthy.
SE Calgary Dentists of South Trail Crossing Dental is passionate about giving children the best introduction to dental care. Concentrating on providing an environment that promotes calm and stress-free dental appointments; South Trail Crossing Dental welcomes families to the SE Calgary Dental office and encourages parents to bring little ones to the dentist as soon as teeth start to erupt, as establishing a healthy approach to dental care can keep young teeth cavity-free.
Pediatric Dentistry in SE Calgary focuses on treating dental issues in patients from birth to adolescence. Dentists who have a special interest in treating young patients have developed skills in effectively addressing both the clinical and emotional challenges that can present in young dental patients. A trip to the dental office often creates nerves in the bravest of adults – so when a little one is faced with going to the dentist nervousness can be the barrier to a successful appointment. Choosing a SE Calgary Dentist whose focus is on pediatric care can reduce levels of stress and anxiety in a child – helping to make dental appointments a good experience for everyone.
South Trail Crossing Dental acknowledges that bringing your child to a ‘kid-friendly’ dentist is only part of the fight to prevent dental cavities in children. Good home-care that includes supervising and helping to brush and floss your child’s teeth is an essential part of keeping teeth healthy – and making smart snack and food choices (including drinks) can greatly reduce a child’s risk of forming tooth decay. As sad as it is to state – even babies are at risk of dental decay – so gentle cleaning of their gums after feeding will help keep developing teeth healthy.
Protecting young smiles is a team effort, which involves the care and attention of parents, along with the skills and focus of a SE Calgary Dentist whose goal is to protect teeth and keep children smiling.
