Your child may need help caring for their teeth, and they may be less clear on the value of smile care, but people of all ages can have the same general oral health concerns. Smart protection against dental decay calls for good diet choices, effective oral hygiene practices, and regular dental checkups. Your St. Louis, MO dentist, Dr. Johnson-G’Sell, can play an important role in helping everyone in your household maintain healthy teeth. Our office welcomes both adult patients and kids in need of pediatric care. By providing thorough, age-appropriate care, we can make it easier for you to keep everyone safe against dental decay and other concerns!
Oral Health Care Is Important At Every Age
Our teeth are vulnerable to decay at any age, but the right habits keep our enamel safe. Both kids and adults should have their teeth cleaned consistently and thoroughly, and limiting sugar exposure will also be important. With that said, the way we approach smile care will change in time, as younger children require direct help with teeth cleanings. They can also benefit from better guidance when it comes to making smarter diet decisions. After all, kids have less experience and information with good oral hygiene, and they can have less control when it comes to enjoying sweets.
Welcoming And Supporting Our Youngest Patients
Dr. Johnson-G’Sell can help her youngest patients feel at ease in the dentist’s office, and she can provide valuable preventive care to help them grow up with healthy, confident smiles. We provide “well baby exams,” and can provide complimentary checkups for children under two when parents bring them to their own checkups. Our youngest patients receive guidance about caring for their teeth to prepare them to brush and floss for themselves, and we also offer both fluoride treatments and dental sealants to help lower their risk for cavities.
Why You Should Continue To Protect Your Smile By Attending Regular Checkups
While adults can have a better understanding of what dental care involves, and why it matters, professional care is important at every age. Your routine preventive dental exams and cleanings provide protection by removing plaque as well as calculus buildup. You can also receive important early warnings when there are problems that need to be addressed. For example, if we observe a cavity during your evaluation, we can provide a dental filling before decay can spread and create more issues for your well-being.
