3 Dental Dangers For Chesterfield Toddlers

Categories: General Dentistry

Ballwin, MO family dentist

Hello new Chesterfield parents. We know that keeping babies and toddlers safe and healthy requires constant effort. You snap them snugly in their car seats, baby-proof your medicine cabinet and guard the stairway with a gate. You take them to your Chesterfield pediatrician for immunizations, check-ups and an occasional prescription for antibiotics.

Town and Country Cosmetic Dentistry and Implant Center wants to remind you about another essential component of child wellness: oral health. Sadly, we see too many cases of completely preventable child dental caries. You have probably received the following vital advice, but it bears repeating:

Don’t put babies to bed with a bottle!
Don’t allow youth to drink juice continually during the day!
Prevent frequent snacking on sugary foods!

Oral health is intrinsically connected to overall physical health and normal development. If your oral hygiene is not up to par, now is the time to shape up and help your young child develop optimal oral health habits that will serve them well throughout their life.

Town and Country Cosmetic Dentistry and Implant Center recommends beginning twice-yearly dental visits around age one or when the first tooth erupts. Our friendly staff helps young patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their exams.

Dr. Martin Buchheit can advise you on thumb sucking, dental sealants, normal child tooth development, braces, athletic tooth protection, fluoride, or any other pediatric dental issue.

In addition to pediatric dentistry, Town and Country Cosmetic Dentistry and Implant Center offers the full spectrum of unprecedented restorative and cosmetic dental procedures such as: dental implants, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign
