Our coverage of children’s dental care
At Smile, dental care for children is a priority, offering comprehensive care to ensure optimal oral health from an early age. Dentists specializing in pedodontics understand the importance of a reassuring environment for children during their dental visits. With the right approach, children develop a trusting relationship with their dentists, which is essential for their well-being.
Parents receive advice on oral hygiene and cavity prevention, as well as essential information on how to keep their children’s teeth healthy. Smile also offers regular appointments for preventive check-ups and treatments, ensuring optimal oral hygiene. The team of pedodontists plays a crucial role in educating children about the importance of brushing their teeth and the impact of food on their oral health.
Some good habits for your child to maintain optimal dental health
Relaxing the visit to the dentist in order to acquire a good dental hygiene
The first visit to the dentist is crucial to building trust between the young patient and the dentist. Smile Clinique advises parents to schedule a first check-up with the dentist between the ages of two and a half and three years. This visit allows your child to become familiar with the process of a dental examination and to receive oral hygiene advice (brushing advice in particular). From the first visit, it is necessary to schedule follow-up visits every six months in order to monitor the evolution of your child’s oral health as well as the permutation of his or her milk teeth by his or her permanent teeth.
The right diet for healthy teeth
It is important to ensure that your child eats a healthy, balanced diet. Such a diet should be rich in fruits and vegetables, favor dairy products and be low in sweets. To complement these good eating habits, brushing your child’s teeth after each meal is a key step in preventing tooth decay.
Monitor tooth alignment and jaw development
As part of your child’s regular jaw monitoring, you may be referred to an orthodontist at Smile Clinic. In children, orthodontic treatment may be necessary to correct jaw growth or tooth positioning problems that can lead to problems with sucking, speaking or chewing.
By taking care of your child’s dental health from an early age, you’ll help prevent cavities and other oral health problems, which can reduce dental care costs in the long run. You’ll also be empowering your child to maintain good oral health throughout their life.
