Our
Canton family dentist promotes healthy eating habits that lead to healthy teeth. At Cavalier Family dental, we recommend that you always be aware and don’t let your child eat too many sweet snacks that can lead to pediatric dental decay. Its best to begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as they cut their first tooth, using a pea-size amount of fluoride toothpaste once your child is old enough not to swallow it. Proper brushing removes plaque from the inner, outer and chewing surfaces. In addition to removing plaque, flossing also removes food trapped between teeth and should be started when any two teeth touch.

Canton family dentist has the knowledge and understanding to guide our younger patients into a lifetime of proper dental practices. Pediatric dentists have two extra years of specialized training and are committed to the oral health of your children. Our pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet the needs of children of all ages, helping them to avoid future dental problems, starting with pediatric dental decay.
Also referred to as cavities, dental decay is caused by various issues, including bacteria in the mouth, teeth not being cleaned well, too much snacking, and drinking overly sugared beverages. We like to educate all our patients on the importance of good oral hygiene and the consequences of dental decay. When dental decay is left untreated, it gets larger, and soon affects the deeper layers of your children’s teeth. These untreated cavities will also lead to infection, severe toothache, and, ultimately, loss of the tooth. Your child should visit our
Canton family dentist office by his or her first birthday, and we will do our best to make the first visit to the dentist positive and enjoyable. It is very important to maintain the health of your child’s primary teeth since neglected dental decay often lead to problems which affect their developing permanent teeth. With these facts in mind, remember the importance of regular comprehensive dental exams and proper pediatric dental care for all your children and teens.
