Your Child’s First Dental Visit
The first tooth will usually erupt between 6 and 12 months in most children. Dr. Prashant Patel suggests your child visit him as soon as you notice that first tooth. He can give suggestions on how to clean your child’s teeth, explain what to expect during the teething years and help you prevent and diagnose any dental problems early. Get in the habit of regular preventative visits at A Gentle Touch Dentistry, P.C. in Buffalo Grove, IL early and often to give your child a healthy set of beautiful teeth. To make an appointment, call us today at (888) 485-7743. Read more about children's dentist: |
Don't Forget to Floss! Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Visit Our Office Regularly! Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams. Mouthwash Is Important, Too! Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis. |
