Dr. Amit Shah’s practice provides dental care for children as well as adults. Creative Smiles teaches children the proper dental hygiene to have such as flossing, brushing and being aware of oral issues such as gum disease.
Early Dental Visits Promote a Lifetime of Healthy Teeth
The earlier your child goes to the dentist Tustin, the better their chances of having a lifetime of oral health.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that children have their first dental visit by the age of 1. Visits to the dentist will help lower your child’s risk of cavities, and it will ensure that they are chewing correctly and that their speech can develop properly. It will also help parents become aware of how to care for their child’s teeth and how to use fluoride appropriately. A visit to our dentist can also help with bad oral habits such a thumb sucking.
Taking preventative measures with your child’s oral health ensures that they have space for their permanent teeth in the future and that they come in healthy. Promoting a healthy smile will increase your child’s self-esteem.
Our dentists have worked with plenty of children and make every one of them feel at home. There’s nothing more important in our office than watching a child beam with delight and a genuine smile after their dental visit with us.
Making Kids Feel Comfortable at Our Dental Office
First visits can be overwhelming due to strangers, unfamiliar sharp-looking instruments and loud noises. However, our dentists can make the first visit fun.
Some things our dental experts can do to make your child feel comfortable is to explain every step of the procedure in a way that your child can understand. This can be done using models, finger puppets, or toys to explain how to properly brush their teeth or to demonstrate how the cleaning instruments are used.
Maintaining your child’s dental health is important, and visits to our dental office shouldn’t be a source of stress. Our dental experts know exactly how to alleviate yours and your child’s fears and keep their teeth healthy.
