FAQS

Why is child oral health care important? 
Child oral health care is crucial because establishing healthy habits early on helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Good oral hygiene during the formative years sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. 

How often should a child visit the dentist? 
It is recommended for a child to visit the dentist every six months. Regular check-ups allow for early detection of potential dental issues and enable the dentist to provide timely advice on oral hygiene for your child's specific needs.

Staggering Statistics: The State of Child Oral Health Care Today?

Recent statistics reveal that over 40% of children have cavities by the time they reach kindergarten. Worryingly, these early dental issues can persist into adulthood if left unmanaged. However, with proper oral health care practices, there is a tremendous opportunity to significantly reduce this number and improve overall child health.

Children's Teeth Don't Need Professional Care

Many parents believe that because children's primary teeth eventually fall out, they do not require professional care. This is a myth. Primary teeth play critical roles in children's development, including mouth structure and speech. Neglecting these teeth can lead to issues that persist into adulthood. Regular dental visits ensure children maintain good oral health as they transition into having permanent teeth.
