Have you scheduled an age 1 visit?
Bringing your child in for their first dental visit at age 1 enables us to see if their teeth and jaws are developing correctly and if there are any signs of early tooth decay or underlying issues that may create future problems. We also help you learn how to care for your child’s teeth-and we teach them how to do this for themselves when they’re old enough! Dr. Bui also focuses on early orthopedic treatment to avoid extraction and jaw surgery. We also provide non-extraction braces and expanders for young children.
The 8 keys to preventing cavities in children include:
- Regular dental visits so our dentist can help you remove stubborn plaque
- X-rays as needed
- Consistent home care and brushing twice daily
- A diet that limits sugary, starchy foods and drinks
- Drinking water regularly
- Use fluoride after every brushing to kill bacteria in hard to reach areas
