Why You Should Love Your Child’s Pediatric Dentist




A dentist can seem like just another place you take your child, but the relationship that you and your child has with their pediatric dentist can save them from a lifetime of problems with their smile and their teeth. Children who do not regularly brush, floss or visit the dentist tend to have more decay and problems that require major dental work. If you trust the pediatric dentist, your children will trust the dentist too.

Pediatric dentists can help to reinforce some of the behaviors that parents fight with their children to adhere to. When your child visits the dentist and they see firsthand the impact that not brushing or flossing has on their smile and they hear it from someone other than you, it can help build positive habits for a lifetime. Let your child’s dentist back up and support your positive dental message today.

The pediatric dentist is specially trained to help provide dental help to your child. Their schooling requires them to attend specialty training on working with little ones. This helps them build a positive relationship with the patients they see, but it also means they have experience with specific situations that impact children.

A gap between the teeth

When your baby’s teeth first begin to come in and you notice that gap between their teeth when they smile, the family may coo that it’s cute. "However, it is very important that if your child has a gap in their teeth due to a maxillary frenum, or another reason, that it be corrected," says pediatric dentist Dr. Cameron Fuller. Your child’s education, speech and self-confidence is dependent upon it being corrected at an early age.             As your child gets older they are working on saying certain sounds. Children who are younger than five should be developing the ability to say all of the sounds. After five if these sounds are not solidified it will make it much more difficult for them to learn to correctly speak. “And by age seven if the sounds are not correct they run the risk of never being able to say them correctly,” says Dr. Cameron Fuller .
