Pediatric Dentistry
Building a specialized dental plan for your child is the best way to ensure their lasting oral health. To do that, you need a dental team you can trust to work with your kids in a helpful, friendly way.
Help your child create healthy dental habits for the rest of their lifetime by setting up routine checkups at Dental Express. Our team believes it’s essential to start dental care early in life. This way, you and your child can take preventive measures and minimize future issues. To schedule a checkup for your little one, reach out to us at one of our practices in San Diego, California.
Our Primary Focus is Your Oral Health
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), tooth decay is the most prevalent infectious disease our children face in the United States. This unsettling fact is why it’s crucial to make a habit of taking your child to the dentist when they’re young. Getting your child accustomed to going to the dentist helps you establish it as a positive experience and shows them it’s an important part of life.
Professional dental organizations like the AAPD recommend taking your child for their first dentist visit before their first birthday. From then on, parents should take their little ones to the dentist at least twice a year for regular checkups and cleanings. We intend to provide your child with an enjoyable and relaxing visit at any of our San Diego locations. This type of experience will make dentist visits a positive part of your child’s life, so they’ll be more likely to practice good dental habits.
During their visit, we’ll make sure their baby teeth are coming in correctly, search for any issues, and teach them the best way to brush and floss at home. To set your child up with a healthy smile, contact Dental Express to schedule a checkup with one of our dentists.
Best Candidates
Every child should have an oral health plan tailored to their unique dental needs. The sooner you start taking them to the dentist, the healthier and safer their teeth will be for the rest of their lives. And it’s never too late to start.
We recommend bringing your kids first pediatric dentistry in six months after their first tooth emerges. At Dental Express, we take a proactive approach to dental care with preventive treatments to protect your little one’s baby teeth. Since they’ll have their primary teeth for years, keeping them healthy while their adult teeth are coming in is essential.
At their routine checkups, we’ll look for cavities, misaligned teeth, and other potential issues. Our pediatric dentistry team will show you how to clean your child’s teeth properly and how to watch for troublesome habits like thumb-sucking.
