Making sure you and your kids are cared for is not always easy, but it is important. Especially at an early age, children require considerable attention and support from their parents. During this period, you can have an active role to play in managing their dental and general health, but you still need to make time for your own needs. Our St. Louis, MO dentist’s office can help parents make sure they take care of their kids’ smiles, and their own. We offer regular dental exams for adults as well as pediatric dental exams. We can also help you develop an understanding of what your kids might need from you at home by offering helpful tips and information on caring for their teeth and gums.
A Family Dental Office Can Make Oral Health Care More Convenient
One clear advantage of finding an all-ages dentist is that you can schedule everyone’s exams at one time, with one single location. This cuts down on the trips you need to make, and it ensures you have one person to turn to when you have questions about anyone’s oral health needs. Dr. Johnson is prepared to provide consistent, quality dental care to adults and children, so everyone in your household can have the support that they require!
Providing Treatment For Our Younger Patients
Children are at a disadvantage when it comes to oral health care because they have less experience and knowledge on the matter. An initial dental visit, or “well baby” exam, should occur by a child’s first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth arriving. This first visit creates an opportunity for them to grow familiar with a new environment, which can make subsequent appointments easier. Once they are old enough to begin attending regular dental exams, kids can enjoy preventive care as well as information on the importance of a healthy smile.
We Help Adults Maintain Healthy Teeth
While you are responsible for your child’s smile care needs, particularly when they are too young to brush and floss themselves, you also need to take care of yourself! During your routine appointments, Dr. Johnson can look for any developing problems that might require restorative dental work. Your visits also include regular teeth cleanings that help you avoid problems by removing harmful plaque and calculus buildup.
