The Importance of Pediatric Dentistry

It is important for your children to have a long-term treatment plan and a regular dentist at an early age. In fact, infants should be taken to a pediatric dentist within their first year or at the first signs of tooth growth. As soon as the first tooth appears, cleaning should begin immediately.

Caring for a young child's teeth requires special knowledge and treatment. The most important part of a child's first visit to the dentist is education.

By seeing a pediatric dentist, you can receive important information regarding your child's oral health, such as diet tips, cleaning techniques, and other preventative measures you can take to ensure your child's teeth are protected for their future. At Floss Dental, your child will feel safe and at ease, and may even enjoy their visit to the dentist. Click here to find out more how we care for your child's teeth.

Why Get Your Teeth Professionally Cleaned?

Almost every visit to the dentist includes a dental cleaning. Have you ever wondered why? You brush your teeth at home, so what's the point in going to the dentist to do it again?

You may be surprised. Cleanings performed by a dentist are crucial to maintaining healthy teeth. There are two important advantages to getting your teeth cleaned at a dentist's office. First, dentists are professionally trained to clean your teeth and will always do a better job than you (no offense). Second, dental tools are specifically designed to reach areas of the mouth that normal toothbrushes fail to clean.
