As a parent, nothing melts your heart more than your child's precious smile!
Did you know that one of the greatest gifts you can give them is a healthy, happy, beautiful smile? Healthy teeth allow them to try new foods and eat comfortably, while a beautiful smile gives them the confidence you want them to have to reach their goals.
Here are other reasons why children's dentistry in Maple Ridge, BC, is so important.
#1 Helps Establish Positive Relationships
The Canadian Dental Association and our dentists agree that children should have their first dental visit by age one. This may seem early, but building positive early relationships with your child helps set them up for future success at the dentist.
Many adults report having dental fear or anxiety later in life because of bad childhood experiences at their dentist. Positive early relationships will help your child avoid these concerns.
#2 Opportunities for Habit Correction
Your dentist can consult on common problems like thumb sucking or pacifier use that can become problematic for dental development. They can provide guidance on successfully managing and eliminating these habits.
#3 Builds Good Habits for Prevention
Visiting their dentist consistently for teeth cleanings and checkups every six months helps your child develop good home care techniques and healthy oral habits. Prevention in dentistry is the key to avoiding common problems like cavities, tooth decay and gum disease.
#4 Allows for Early Detection
When your child visits their dentist consistently, we can detect problems early and help them avoid tooth infections or abscesses.
