Children’s Dentistry

Dentist Arlington Heights

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should visit the dentist within six months after the presence of the first tooth or by his or her first birthday. Early oral examination aids in the detection of the early stages of tooth decay, and is also essential to maintain good oral health.

At our Arlington Heights dental office, we welcome children of all ages. With regular check-ups and cleanings, our dentist can ensure healthy and happy smiles. It is recommended for all patients to schedule a routine six-month check-up exam. We will screen your child’s mouth for tooth decay and gum disease. Regular professional dental cleanings are essential for a healthy mouth. During your child’s dental cleaning, we will gently remove any buildup of plaque or tarter.

Our dentist may also recommend dental sealants for your child. Sealants protect against tooth decay and cavities on your child’s molars. Molars are the most susceptible to cavities and least benefited by topical fluoride. Sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth and are highly effective in preventing tooth decay. Fluoride may be applied to the teeth as well. Topical fluoride is used to strengthen enamel and make teeth more resistant to tooth decay.

Without proper dental care, children are susceptible to oral decay. We believe that healthy smiles should not stop at our dental office. We will educate you and your child on how to make good food choices and how to properly brush and floss at home.

Our Arlington Heights dentist has the experience and qualifications to care for your child’s teeth, gums and mouth throughout various stages of childhood. We are dedicated to providing high quality dental care for your children.
