Proper Dental Habits for Children

Instilling Good Habits for Healthy Teeth

We teach children proper dental habits in an environment that is fun and comfortable for them. We tell both children and parents that a child's teeth are more prone to cavities and explain the various reasons.

Often children do not brush their teeth as well as needed. We encourage parents to supervise their children's brushing and flossing until they have the ability to be thorough. 

Kids also eat small meals more often throughout the day. Every time food is chewed, acid is produced. Extensive exposure to this acid will increase the chances of cavities. If a tooth is not clean to begin with, the resulting production of even more acid will increase the rate that cavities develop. 

Improved dental hygiene and healthier dietary choices will lessen the development of cavities. We also highly recommend the application of a protective dental sealant to prevent the cavities in back teeth.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 3

Veneers
Veneers are thin shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. Unlike bonding, it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth to accommodate the shell. Based on a model of your mouth, they are meant to look like your natural teeth.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 2

Crowns
A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken.

White Dental Fillings

Fillings without Metal

We use only composite resin fillings or porcelain onlays that do not contain any metal. They bond tightly to tooth enamel to reduce the possibility of decay setting in and add strength to the tooth structure. For years, silver-mercury amalgams were the standard filling material. These metallic fillings do not adhere well to tooth structure, eventually allowing leakage and potential decay to set in.

Many people don't like the way dark amalgams look in their teeth, either. The modern fillings and onlays we use are made to match the shade of a tooth, so they are not noticeable and make for a pleasing smile.

Before starting any whitening treatment, you should speak with your dentist. Your dentist will tell you what, if any, whitening procedures will work best for you.
