Infant Oral Health

Early Dental Development: Even before the eruption of the first tooth, a baby's oral health is already developing. Proper care during infancy helps ensure the healthy eruption of primary teeth and promotes proper jaw development.

Prevention of Early Childhood Caries (ECC): Early Childhood Caries, also known as baby bottle tooth decay, can occur as early as infancy. It is caused by frequent exposure to sugary liquids and inadequate oral hygiene. Establishing good oral care habits early on can help prevent ECC and maintain a cavity-free smile.

Speech and Jaw Development: Oral health plays a significant role in speech development and jaw growth. Proper alignment of the jaws and teeth is crucial for speech clarity and the overall development of the oral structures.

Infant Dental Examinations: Our pediatric dentists provide gentle and comprehensive dental examinations for infants. These examinations help monitor dental development, identify any early signs of tooth decay or oral health issues, and provide guidance on oral care practices.

Oral Hygiene Guidance: We offer guidance to parents on proper oral care for infants, including techniques for cleaning the gums, tongue, and emerging teeth. Our team educates parents on appropriate fluoride use, pacifier use, and bottle-feeding practices to promote optimal oral health.

Nutritional Counseling: We provide valuable information about nutrition and its impact on oral health. Our team advises parents on healthy dietary choices for infants and discourages prolonged exposure to sugary drinks or foods that can contribute to tooth decay.

Preventive Treatments: To protect your infant's teeth from decay, we offer preventive treatments such as fluoride varnish applications and dental sealants. These treatments provide a protective barrier against harmful bacteria and acids, helping to prevent cavities.

Parent Education and Involvement: We encourage parents to actively participate in their child's oral health care. Our team provides guidance and education on oral care practices, feeding habits, and age-appropriate dental milestones.
