Dental care for kids with Brentwood, CA area dentists

Posted By Dr. Jamil Alkhoury

Adults are used to visiting their dentist every six months for a cleaning and checkup. However, what about their children?

Children have unique needs when it comes to dentistry, so working with a professional who has experience with the younger crowd is very important when looking for a dental practice for children. If you have kids and are seeking a clinic that offers dental care for both children and adults, we encourage you to learn about the team at Brentwood Family Dental in Brentwood, CA.

What is the importance of dental care for children?

The early years involve a lot of changes and concerns for a growing smile. Children have a lot to look forward to when it comes to their teeth and gums. During the first few years of life, teeth are cutting through the gums at astounding rates, while later, these teeth are lost, and permanent teeth come through. When it comes to kids and dentistry, education for both child and parent is essential. Our team works closely with parents to:

Ensure children are preventing tooth decay with proper habits
Prevent the development of cavities and periodontal disease
Improve the smile’s alignment with early intervention orthodontic treatments
Ensure dental concerns do not impact language development
Protect their child’s smile from damage during participation in high impact sports and activities
Educate children on healthy eating habits to reduce dental concerns
Help children understand the importance of routine oral health habits such as brushing and flossing
Develop a treatment plan for children when problems arise
Provide emergency dental care when issues occur and require immediate attention from a dental professional

What services are provided for children at Brentwood Family Dental?

Every smile is unique, and this means that there is no “cookie-cutter” care for a child’s smile. Some children are thorough with brushing and flossing their teeth, removing food particles, and reducing bacteria, while others may struggle with taking care of their smile. Some children do not have any developmental concerns regarding the alignment of their smiles, while others may genetically require orthodontic treatment to address bite issues. When evaluating children and determining the care they need, our team takes a customized approach and ensures each child gets the attention they require now and into the future!
