Teaching your child good oral hygiene habits now can make sure they stick to these lessons for the rest of their life. Our dentists will work with you to instill the importance of daily brushing and flossing to keep their teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. Scheduling regular visits for them also helps to familiarize them with the sights, sounds and smells of a dental office so that they are comfortable with this type of setting. If they have pleasant experiences as a child, they are more likely to avoid dental anxiety and keep up good oral health throughout their lifetimes.
