Preventive Dentistry for Children
Stopping problems before they start for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Little Smiles, our goal is to stop cavities and developmental issues early — saving your family time, discomfort, and cost.
We recommend scheduling a "Dental Home" visit by your child's first birthday.
What Preventive Care Includes
Exams & Cleanings
Routine visits every six months allow us to monitor jaw growth, check for tongue-ties, and detect "sugar bugs" early.
Dental Sealants
Protective coatings placed on the deep grooves of molars to block bacteria and food particles. Quick, painless, and effective.
Fluoride Treatments
A simple vitamin for teeth that strengthens enamel and helps reverse early signs of decay (soft spots).
Why Prevention Matters
Consistent preventive care is the secret to a worry-free dental experience. Children who see the dentist regularly:
- Have significantly fewer cavities
- Experience less dental anxiety
- Avoid invasive treatments later on
Home Care Tips
Prevention starts at home! Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to keep smiles bright between visits.
