At Premier Family Dental, we emphasize the importance of your child’s teeth, and Dr. Cofer is ready and able to start your child off in the right direction. We understand that some children may have anxieties visiting dentists, which is why knowledgeable team is ready to welcome them with open arms and friendly smiles.

Child dentistry is very important because it is crucial to preventing problems before they arise, as well as sets up your child for success in the future. Common practices in children’s dentistry are dental sealants. Because a child’s tooth is more prone to cavities and decay, sealants grant protection by having a plastic covering painted in the grooves of the tooth to save from harm in the future. Sealants are primarily applied to premolars and permanent molars, given the grooves are deeper than the other teeth and more susceptible to deterioration.

Coinciding with sealants, fluoride treatments are also involved in child dentistry frequently. Fluoride plays a crucial role in preventing decay as well as acting as an agent for attracting other minerals, like Calcium and Phosphate, to build strong teeth. Granted, fluoride does not prevent cavities from emerging, but it may delay their arrival, giving your child a better chance to have beautiful, healthy teeth and a glorious smile. Beginning routine brushing and flossing habits early on is a sure way of having your child’s smile be as stunning as possible, and Dr. Cofer as well as the Premier Family Dental team are here to make sure your child has an awesome experience.

At Premier Family Dental, we recommend that all of our patients visit us twice a year for their dental checkup, no matter what your age is.

Dental checkups are an important part of preventative dental care. Our staff will clean and examine your child’s teeth and gums for signs of disease or decay. We will also make sure they’re learning and practicing proper brushing and flossing techniques. Also, we will make sure your child’s teeth are developing properly and use fluoride treatments and sealants to help provide extra protection against decay and cavities. The earlier you get your child into the good habit of having a regular dental checkup, the better their oral health will be going forwards.

Back to school is a great time to schedule your child’s dental checkup. The start of a school year is a very busy time, so scheduling an appointment now before everything is in full swing will make your life a little easier. Make sure your kids are starting the school year right with a clean, healthy smile by bringing them in for their regular dental checkup.

Children’s Dentistry in Waco

March 14, 2013

At Premier Family Dental, we want to take care of your entire family, so we also offer children’s dentistry. No matter what your age, we want all of our patients to have healthy, beautiful teeth. It is important to start good habits early on.

Children’s dentistry focuses on the special teeth needs that children have: learning proper brushing and flossing techniques, cavity prevention, and keeping baby and permanent teeth healthy.

Once your child’s teeth start coming in, it is important that they start visiting a dentist to ensure their teeth are developing correctly. We also recommend that you bring them along to one of your appointments so they can get used to the environment of a dentist’s office.

We offer fluoride treatments and dental sealants to help keep cavities from forming. Just because your child’s baby teeth will fall out doesn’t mean it’s not important to make sure they’re healthy. It is important for the development of your child’s smile and their self-confidence that their baby teeth remain healthy and stay in their mouth until pushed out by permanent teeth.

Children’s dentistry plays an important role in the health of your child’s smile. We would be honored to help ensure that your entire family has healthy, beautiful smiles. Call us today to schedule your child’s next appointment.
