Early dental care can help your child avoid dental problems and set up a program for healthier smiles as they get older. For your family, that means finding a child-friendly dentist who creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere for children of all ages. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Hoppers Crossing Dental.
“Children’s dentistry is the start of the learning curve for children—for prevention and to look after their teeth for life. We like to educate parents and kids about oral hygiene habits and diet, fluoride treatment, and fissure sealants. Our objective is to do whatever we can to prevent the formation of any disease so children can have a healthy mouth for life,” said Dr Nitsopoulos (Dentist).
Dental Care for School Age Children
Regular checkups allow us to monitor the development of your child’s smile and intervene when issues are small. As a parent, you can encourage your child to develop healthy habits, including brushing twice daily and flossing once a day. We recommend kids use a battery powered electric toothbrush, as research has shown that it does a better job of cleaning the teeth.
Encourage your child to drink plenty of water, and avoid offering rewards that contain sugar. Although sweets can increase your risk of tooth decay, it is more of how often they are consumed than how much is actually eaten that is the true risk.
As your child’s permanent molars begin to erupt, we will recommend fissure sealants to make them easier to clean. These protective coatings also reduce the risk of cavities.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule
Your children might be eligible for up to $1,095 worth of Medicare-funded treatment over a two-year period. Benefits cover a range of services, including examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions. Please call us if you have any questions regarding this government-funded program.
