Our Goals for Your ChildAt each visit, we especially encourage children to continue with good daily hygiene habits. Their teeth are more prone to decay due to improper brushing, frequency of eating, and food choices.
We ask parents to help their children with brushing and flossing as needed. This will instill good dental hygiene habits. As young kids will often eat throughout the day, their teeth are continually being exposed to acid that is produced in the mouth while eating. Acid contributes to the occurrence of cavities.
If a tooth is not cleaned properly to begin with, that causes generation of more acid that increases the rate of cavity development. But better hygiene habits and dietary choices can help reduce the acidity in the mouth. One application of a mineralizing fluoride varnish also can greatly lessen the chances of decay setting in.
