We love our patients of all ages and stages of life. However, there’s no more crucial time to take care of our smile than when we’re younger. We care so much about prevention because we actually want to keep you and your family out of the dental chair. By having parents, your Medford pediatric dentist, and our staff on the same page, we’re one step closer to preventing and stopping the progress of dental issues in children such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth deterioration. With regular cleanings, we can easily monitor your child’s oral health and detect anything out of the ordinary that might require additional attention. You can also help out with prevention at home by promoting a healthy diet of vegetables and fruits, without a ton of sugary foods and beverages. It’s also a huge help to have a structured oral hygiene routine at home, so your little one can keep cavities from forming and doing damage to their sweet smile.
