Children deserve special attention when it comes to dental care. At Aston Dental Health Center, our experienced team takes pride in creating a fun, child-friendly environment for our youngest patients, where they can feel safe and comfortable.
Using gentle techniques and age-appropriate language, we help children become comfortable with dental care from an early age. This helps ensure that they grow up to become proactive about oral health care without the anxiety that haunts many adults.
Starting Early for Optimal Dental Health
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children have their first dental visit by age one or within six months after their first tooth appears. These early visits allow our children’s dentist to monitor dental development, identify potential issues before they become serious problems, and guide parents on good oral hygiene practices for their children.
Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services
Preventive care is the foundation for healthy, growing smiles, starting in infancy. Wiping your baby’s gums with a soft washcloth after feedings removes harmful bacteria and helps them get comfortable with the idea of dental hygiene from an early age.
At our children’s dental office, preventive care includes:
- Routine checkups and cleanings
- Dental sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Early orthodontic evaluations
- Sports mouthguards
Dental emergencies are common in childhood, and we understand how upsetting they can be. Our team is here to help with prompt care and a gentle approach to resolve the issue and protect your child’s oral health.
Creating Positive Dental Experiences
We have designed every aspect of our practice to make dental visits enjoyable for kids. From our friendly staff to our engaging reception area, we strive to create an atmosphere where children feel comfortable and even excited about their dental care. This positive association with dental visits helps establish good habits contributing to lifelong oral health.
