Whenever anything is in its early stages of development, it is important to make sure that you take as much care of it as possible. Whether it is a business, a new position at work, it is crucial to make sure that it has the most solid, effective foundation as possible. The same goes for your child’s smile. With their beautiful smiles being as young and susceptible to decay as it is, it is important to make sure that you guide your child down the path of excellent oral care. By offering children’s dentistry, Livonia Dental Group is able to help give our youngest patients a solid foundation for a healthy smile.

Many people do not realize how important children’s dentistry really is. It goes beyond looking after your child’s smile, and delves more into your child’s social and self development. When your child has a healthy, beautiful smile, they are able to feel good about themselves. It gives them confidence, and are, in turn, able to communicate friendliness to their peers. When a child does not have the proper oral care, it heightens their odds of having oral diseases, causing their teeth to fall out too early. When this happens, your child’s adult teeth can become compromised as well as having your child lack the proper nutrition needed for healthy development.

When your child comes in for their first dental appointment, we will make a special effort to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. We know that a dentist’s office is not necessarily your child’s favorite place to be, but we will be sure to welcome them with warm smiles and hugs. We want your child to adapt to the usual sounds and sights of a dental visit, that way they learn to be comfortable while in the chair. One aspect of children’s dentistry is fluoride treatments. Fluoride is an amazing mineral that strengthens the teeth and helps fight off the potential for cavities. Another common aspect is dental sealants. Sealants are clear, plastic coatings that cover the pits of the teeth located toward the back of the mouth. This keeps bacteria from forming in the deep grooves of your child’s teeth! if you would like to schedule your child’s first dental appointment, contact our office today, and we will be glad to help!
