When it comes to the health of your child's primary teeth, there is no better time than now to start practicing excellent oral hygiene. Pediatric dental care ensures your child's primary teeth stay healthy and free of decay and other dental diseases.
Believe it or not, preventive care plays a major role in the overall oral and physical health of your child. Much like an adult, the onset of decay can lead to a multitude of problems, some relating to oral health, and some relating to overall well-being.
Safety is parents' top consideration when it comes to their child receiving dental sedation. Dentists may recommend sedation for long, complex procedures and for patients who are especially young or nervous. Sedating a patient is normally a very safe procedure.
Sometimes, despite proper hygiene and care, things happen. Tooth decay can occur, or a tooth can be broken or knocked out. In these cases, restorative care becomes necessary. Depending on your child's needs, there are several restorative options. Dr. Hawk will discuss these options with you.
