Your Child’s First Visit To The Pediatric Dentist
At Helotes Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand you want the best for your child. That’s why we focus on providing the highest quality pediatric dental care possible. It’s completely normal for a child to be unsure or nervous about their first dental visit, but at our kid-friendly San Antonio dental office, they don’t have to be! Our practice is designed to make your child comfortable and excited to visit the dentist.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) advises that children be seen by a dentist as soon as possible after cutting their first tooth. At Helotes Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we are happy to see your child for their first dental visit once they are 6 months old.
Children should have routine teeth cleanings and exams scheduled just as often as adults, or twice per year at least. Children's teeth cleanings are an important part of helping your child's teeth and gums remain clean and healthy.
Dental sealants are thin, protective layers applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. These back teeth are susceptible to cavities because their grooves can trap food and bacteria.
Dental fluoride treatments are safe and effective in decreasing the amount of cavities in children. Dr. Rodriguez often recommends fluoride treatments along with dental sealants to protect your child’s teeth. Fluoride acts as a shield for the tooth’s outer enamel and can actually reverse early dental decay in some children.
Space maintainers are custom dental devices used to keep a gap open for permanent teeth when a baby tooth falls out prematurely. These devices prevent adjacent teeth from moving into the space, ensuring there is enough room for the permanent tooth to emerge correctly.
Why Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on oral health for infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers. Just like pediatricians, pediatric dentists devote extended professional training to incorporating child specific techniques and knowledge into their field of focus.
Our doctors specializes in protecting your child’s oral health using the most advanced techniques. In addition to four years of college and general dental school, pediatric dentists receive two to three years of further training in children’s hospitals and dental schools.
