While cavities are a common oral health issue in children, we see kids for a number of other issues, too. Some of the top reasons parents bring their kids in for care with us are:
Cavities and decay:Â Bacteria in the mouth forms acid that eats away at enamel.
Gingivitis:Â Red or swollen gums are often the first sign.
Tooth enamel erosion:Â Commonly caused by poor eating habits.
Crowded teeth:Â Often corrected with orthodontics.
Malocclusion (an incorrect bite):Â Easily corrected with braces.
General checkups and cleans:Â Recommended every six months!
Many of these problems can be prevented with proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing daily. Regular dental checkups help catch any problems early and prevent them from getting worse. If it’s been a while since we’ve seen your little one, book a visit.
