The benefits to getting your child to the dentist at an early age in Greensboro, NC

For a lifetime of healthy dental habits and health, a lifetime of professional and personal care is required. Your child’s dental hygiene should begin from the time they are a year old, or sooner, when the first tooth erupts from the gumline. Dr. Sona Isharani and her team at Triad Pediatric Dentistry in Greensboro, NC welcome you and your kids to their welcoming office for all your child’s dental needs.  Dr. Isharani is a board-certified and, more importantly, a mother. Dr. Isharani understands that, on top of quality care, it’s important to provide a nurturing and gentle environment to make children comfortable.

There is significant evidence that early visits to the dentist provide several benefits to both a child and their parent which leads to decreased dental care costs over the child’s lifetime.

Become familiar with the dental experience

It’s essential that a child feel a sense of comfort and familiarity with their surroundings. This is especially true when they are introduced to new places, including the dentist’s office. When you begin bringing your child to the dentist from an early age, they will become comfortable with the experience. It will become just another part of their life. Finding a dentist who has training and experience with children of all ages is incredibly helpful and will go a long way to providing this desired experience.

Early detection

Young children’s teeth are susceptible to tooth decay. When you bring your child to the dentist from the earliest age, any developing problems can be detected before they become a real issue. Aside from tooth decay, your child may also need to be given preventative care such as sealants or additional fluoride that can protect teeth that are at a higher risk for disease. As your child’s teeth come in, any early bite problems can be detected and corrected through interventional treatment. This will not only help your child, but also your pocketbook as you may be able to avoid (or at least reduce) future orthodontic costs.
