Child Preventative Dentistry in McKinney

Preventative Care for Young Children

As a parent, it is never too early for you to start caring for your child's teeth! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents start cleaning their baby's gums as soon as they are born, even before the first tooth erupts. Once teeth begin to come in, you can start using a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on a soft bristled brush.

It's important to teach your child good dental hygiene such as how to brush properly, and to supervise their brushing until they are old enough to do it effectively on their own. Regular dental visits are also important for preventative care. Our team at Apollo Dental can spot problems early and provide guidance on proper oral hygiene. By taking these steps, you can help ensure that your child has a healthy smile for years to come!

How a Dentist Helps Take Care of Your Child’s Teeth

A dentist is an important part of taking care of your child’s teeth. The dentist can help to point out any areas that need more attention, and can also provide a cleaning and check-up to make sure that everything is on track. A good dentist will also be able to offer suggestions on how to take care of your child’s teeth at home, and can answer any questions that you may have.

In addition, the dentist can also spot any problems that may be developing, such as cavities or gum disease, and can provide treatment to prevent them from getting worse. By taking your child to see the dentist regularly, you can help to ensure that their teeth stay healthy and strong.
