Complete Dental Care for Children in Calgary NE
Early Dental visit
We recommend children start their first dental visit by the age 1 or within 6months after the first tooth erupts. Primary/Baby teeth typically begin growing in around 6 months until ~3 years of age. This allows us to begin introducing the child to the dental office and is early enough to anticipate any dental problem.
The primary teeth are important for many reasons including
- Encouraging children to chew correctly is crucial for maintaining optimal nutrition.
- Involvement in speech development.
- Helping save space for permanent teeth
- Guiding permanent teeth eruption
Prevention and education form the foundation of our concern for children’s dental health. Checkups are an appropriate opportunity for evaluation, in addition to educating parents and guardians about their child’s dental care.
- Missing teeth
- Loose teeth
- Braces / bite evaluation
- Cavity/ gum check
- Habit evaluation
- Fluoride use
- Homecare / prevention
- Also to review diet and brushing technique with parents, so parents and guardians know how to help their children be healthy from the start.
