Regular Professional Exams and Cleanings
Even though it’s easy to think your baby or young child doesn’t need regular dental exams and cleanings because they only have a few teeth, scheduling and keeping dentist appointments for your child is one of the most important preventive steps you can take to help ensure your child’s optimal oral health. The American Dental Association recommends regular dental exams and cleanings for all children by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts. These important appointments allow Dr. Abarca the opportunity to evaluate your child’s dental health and provide important preventive treatments, like sealants and fluoride. Contact Us
Graduation is Coming!
School’s almost out, and your kids will be enjoying fun in the sun during the summer. But how can you make sure that your child’s smile stays healthy and strong throughout the summer, and avoid tooth decay from sweet treats? Stick To A Healthy “Summer Smile” Routine Your kids should brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes, and floss their teeth once per day. Depending on their ages, you may need to brush and floss for them. But if you have older kids, it’s important to supervise them and make sure they’re sticking to their “summer smile” routine. Maintaining a good oral hygiene routine is essential for avoiding cavities and gingivitis in the summer. Snack Healthy Yes, summer brings along sweet treats like ice cream and sugary treats, but you and your kids should limit the consumption of sugary foods and drinks. Instead, choose healthy snacks like string cheese, whole grain crackers, fresh fruits and vegetables, and other foods. Schedule A Back-To-School Dental Appointment It’s best to see a dentist during the summer if you can, before back-to-school. It’s easier to make time to see Dr. Abarca for pediatric care during the summer, since you won’t have to worry about your child missing school. Contact Us
Our Goals
Prevention Our preventative pediatric dentistry aims to keep your child's teeth free from plaque buildup, gum disease and tooth decay before any serious treatments are needed. Orthodontics The goal of our orthodontic treatment is to create a healthy, functional “bite,” which is part tooth alignment and part jaw position. Orthodontic treatment will help your child bite and chew, and contribute to clear speech.
What is a Pediatric Dental Emergency?
Anxiety-inducing and potentially serious, pediatric dental emergencies can arise suddenly, making it important to recognize the signs and symptoms. Understanding what constitutes an emergency, its common causes, signs, and symptoms will help you act promptly and seek the appropriate care from your child's emergency pediatric dentist here at Little Champions Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics.
