Why You’re Protecting Your Child’s Baby Teeth With Detailed Care!

Posted on October 9th, 2018

Of course, if you’re following our advice, you’re doing all that we lay out for you when it comes to protecting your child’s baby teeth! You go through the detailed care that is necessary to keep plaque to a minimum, to promote proper growth, to keep smiles strong, and to help them avoid hygiene-related illnesses (and more). While you’re going through with this because we insist that it’s necessary and what you should do, you may have occasional thoughts that beg the question: Do these teeth really need all of this care? They’ll fall out, of course, so, why offer such detailed dental care? Don’t feel bad for asking the question. Our Saxonburg, PA team reassures you that it’s a common one and certainly one worth answering!

Even Kids’ Teeth Develop Problems

You might think that baby teeth aren’t going to develop problems. However, they’re made up of organic tissue that’s susceptible to problems like tooth decay just like your teeth are! Their gums are vulnerable to gum disease. When we suggest that you call our team to set up a dental checkup and cleaning for your children two times annually (about six months apart), you’ll remember now that it’s because your kids need it! Their cleanings and checkups ensure teeth are clean, free of hygiene-related and functional problems, and that if they do need any type of professional dental care, we’re recommending it.

They Are An Integral Part Of Development

Now, remember that one of the very important reasons that you’re protecting your child’s early teeth with detailed dental care is because they really do need it. Yes, you already know that they can become damaged. However, what you may forget about is that if your child was to have damaged, decayed, or missing teeth, it could dramatically hinder developmental milestones like learning to speak correctly, learning to eat solid foods, and more! Keep those little teeth and smiles safe and sound, so these things are not concerns you have to consider. Have questions? Always feel free to let us know.
