Developing Lifelong Oral Hygiene Habits
At Laurelwood Family Dentistry, we are dedicated to making your child's dental visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We create a calm, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere to help your child feel at ease.
Our team will help make the introduction to routine dental care as simple as possible. We'll work at your child's pace, taking breaks if needed, and explain each step to keep them engaged in their dental care. We will also teach your child how to brush and floss their teeth properly.
If your child has any questions during their visit, we'll provide clear, age-appropriate answers to ensure they fully understand what's happening. We also offer dental sedation to help your little one feel more relaxed while receiving dental care.
We aim to create positive dental experiences from the very beginning, helping your child develop healthy oral hygiene habits that will last well into adulthood.
Your Child's First Visit
Babies should have their first dentist visit within six months of their first tooth erupting or by their first birthday. This allows our dentists to identify any issues before they develop into significant problems.
Dental Services for Kids
At Laurelwood Family Dentistry, our services can be tailored to meet your child's oral health needs and keep their smile healthy.
Preventive Dental Hygiene
Bringing your child to the dentist for routine oral exams and teeth cleanings when they are young will help preserve the primary teeth until they are ready to fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth. During each appointment, we will review proper oral hygiene practices to ensure your child's smile receives the proper care at home.
Restorative Dental Services
If your child has developed tooth decay, their dentist may recommend restorative treatments such as dental fillings. These will restore the function of the tooth while strengthening the tooth and preventing further damage.
