Everyone has felt the enjoyment when a child loses a tooth. This big milestone is seen as a time to start really caring for those permanent teeth. Unfortunately that isn’t true. Tooth care needs to start before the permanent teeth come in. There are some great misunderstandings about children’s dental care. Pediatric dental visits are very important to long term health of teeth. You can save up to 80% on regular dental checkups for your children by using the AmeriPlan® dental discount.
The first set of teeth are called milk teeth. They are very important to the development and health of the permanent teeth. The mouth contains natural bacteria called plaque that can build up on teeth. Plague combined with sugary drinks and food can cause decay to start in the thin enamel of the milk teeth. If left go too long this can cause a major infection in the tooth. Going to the dentist on a regular basis will keep your child’s teeth healthy and allow the permanent teeth to come in properly.
A visit to a Pediatric dentist is a little different than when an adult goes to the dentist. The dentist will count the number of teeth and check for signs of decay. This will be fairly quick and done in a way that does not scare the child. Getting your child to get frequent check up s will allow him or her to become more comfortable with the dentist, and should the need arise for a more serious procedure, your child will not get upset. The dentist may also teach your child the proper way to brush and advise of regular brushing.
Tooth care is important at all ages. Keeping teeth in good shape will help permanent teeth come in healthy. Your child can avoid cavities by brushing and visiting the dentist regularly. And AmeriPlan USA® can help you afford to take your children to the dentist on a regular basis with the household dental plan.
