Preventative Dentistry means a healthy smile for your child.  Children with healthy mouths chew more easily and gain more nutrients from the foods they eat.  They learn to speak quickly and clearly.  They have a better chance of general health, because disease in the mouth can endanger the rest of the body.  A healthy mouth is more attractive giving children confidence in their appearance.  Finally, preventative dentistry means less extensive and less expensive treatment for your child.

Preventative dentistry involves:

• Brushing
• Dental development
• Flossing
• Flouride
• Oral habits
• Orthodontics
• Parent involvement
• Proper diet
• Sealants
• Sports safety

Preventative dentistry begins with the first tooth.
