Our Lincoln dentists can help your child enjoy a comfortable and healthy smile through regular checkups in our dental office. You should bring your child in every six months for routine prevention.
However, if you notice any changes or if they complain of tooth pain, be sure to contact our dental office for guidance.
Let’s examine the most common oral health issues children face.
#1 Dental Cavities
Tooth decay is very common in childhood, but it can affect people of all ages. To help your child combat cavities, we can provide a dental sealant.
Dental sealants are spread over the teeth and help keep debris from reaching the enamel, which causes cavities.
Additionally, we can provide tips for at-home care, including nutritional advice and improved brushing and flossing techniques.
#2 Orthodontic Issues
The dentist can evaluate your child for orthodontic issues early and take measures to help the teeth come in straighter. Often, early intervention means less time in braces later and even no need for braces in the future!
#3 Dental Emergencies
Kids play rough and can injure themselves and one another. Additionally, untreated cavities can advance to a tooth’s root canal, which is very painful.
Fortunately, we treat dental emergencies in Lincoln, NE, quickly to alleviate pain and restore your child’s oral health. And we can restore damaged teeth with dental restorations like tooth crowns to help protect a weak or root canal-treated tooth.
#4 Issues with Nutrition
Nutrition plays an important role in development, including oral development. We can discuss proper nutrition with you to keep your child’s smile healthy. Tips include diets low in sugar and acidic fruit juices and soda.
