We recommend children of all ages get regular checkups at least twice a year to ensure their mouth is healthy. During our checkups, our dental team will polish your child’s teeth and remove any plaque, stains, or tartar buildup. Additionally, we will evaluate your child’s mouth, including teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue, and proactively look for any concerns or issues.
Mission Hill always takes a proactive approach with preventative treatments that protect your child’s teeth and gums. However, suppose dental problems (such as gum disease and tooth decay) are discovered in the early stages. In that case, we encourage parents to be diligent about minimal invasive treatments, such as fluoride and sealants.
Questions We Often Hear From Patients
What is a pediatric dentist?
A pediatric dentist is also known as a children’s dentist. Dr. Dimitrov treats children of all ages. Common treatments associated with children’s dentistry include fluoride treatments, space management due to lost baby teeth, dental sealants, and developing preventative treatments specific to kids for healthy teeth and gums.
When does a child need dental care?
Proper dental care and good oral care should begin in infancy. Even before a child’s teeth pop up, you can use a soft damp washcloth to wipe down the gums. Then, as the teeth break through the gum line, you should use a soft-bristled, smaller-head toothbrush designed for infants and gently brush their teeth to clean them.
Your child should have the habit of brushing twice a day. Schedule regular cleaning and exams with Dr. Dimitov when your child turns two for the best results. These appointments can help identify dental issues and diseases in the early stages and allow your child to learn about dental health.
At what age should I take my child to the dentist?
We recommend that a child’s first dental visit be around two years old. If you are concerned about your child’s teeth, call our office and ask a question.
