Ensure A Lifetime Of Healthy Smiles For Your Child With Regular Dental Care

When it comes to maintaining a healthy smile, family dentistry plays a vital role, especially in the early years of a child's life. Regular dental checkups for children at Chalmers Dental in Arden, CA, are more than just a routine; they are a crucial foundation for lifelong oral health.

Services Involved:

• Oral Examination: Our dentist will carefully examine your child's teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, misalignment, and other oral health issues.
• X-rays: Depending on the child's age and dental history, X-rays may be taken to confirm there aren’t dental problems developing in the teeth, gums, and/or jaw.
• Cleaning and Fluoride Treatment: We will clean your child's teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. We may also recommend fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities.
• Oral Health Education: We provide valuable guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, diet choices, and the importance of regular dental care.

What are the benefits of family dental care?

At any age, early detection of dental issues enables us to intercept and treat problems, thereby preventing pain and/or more significant problems. For example, catching cavities early can save a child from toothaches and extensive dental work in their teen and adult years, and regular dental exams can detect conditions like gum disease or misaligned teeth that can affect a person’s oral and overall well-being. This type of care also ensures that every member of the family understands the importance of brushing, flossing, and following a balanced diet from an early age, and regular visits help reduce dental anxiety, making future visits less stressful.

Family dentistry and early dental exams are essential for your family’s overall health and well-being. Call today to book an appointment!
