Seeing your child smile is a great feeling. Keeping that smile healthy can take some work. Children’s dental health can be easy to overlook, but the truth is it’s essential to their overall wellbeing. Pain or infections caused by tooth decay can lead to serious physical and mental complications down the road. Check out these helpful facts and tips to keep your child, and their mouth, feeling good.
Family Dentistry
Get your entire family on a good oral health routine that includes brushing and flossing, and regular appointments at your local AltaMed Dental locations. The American Dental Association recommends at least once or twice a year for normal checkups; however, some individuals may need to see their dentist a little more frequently. Your dentist can give you personalized recommendations.
To prevent oral disease, young children should start seeing the dentist around 1 month old. The best thing you can do to start healthy habits for your children is to set a good example yourself. That includes a routine of proper brushing and flossing, as well as regular checkups at AltaMed. With the right care, you’ll all keep your teeth for life!
