Dentistry for Kids It is often very heart-breaking for a parent when their little one's smile is taken away due to pain and discomfort, particularly in the mouth. Our team of dental professionals recognizes that the care to be given to children is different from that of adults. We like to help children feel as comfortable as possible to ensure that they enjoy their visits to our dentist and that they feel safe while with us. Teeth, especially in growing children, play a role in the shape of their faces and can often be overlooked. We recognize this problem at Charlie Hsieh Dental Corporation, and therefore ensure we provide state-of-the-art care and treatment to children with dental concerns.Why Consider Dentistry for Kids?Did you know that in the United States, tooth decay is the most common chronic ailment in children aged six to 11, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)? And it is ironic considering that it is not contagious. It is common for children to eat more sugar and treats than they would broccoli and other nutritious foods. Sugar is the leading cause of tooth decay and other dental problems in children. Although the enamel is harder than bone, it can still be eaten away gradually by decay. Cavities are normal, particularly in children and they are nothing to be ashamed of. Our team offers good consultation and gives you all available options you may take after a thorough examination and evaluation have been done. What Can You Expect From Our Dentist?We like to believe that our practice is not only a dental office, but also a place where children can begin a lifetime of smiles. Our team will be able to evaluate the overall health and hygiene of your child and the risk of tooth decay. We do accompany the dental exam with a cleaning in some cases where deemed necessary. We will check the child's bite and evaluate fluoride levels. We take the time to educate you and your child on the proper brushing and flossing techniques and how to get rid of plaque and build-up, which cause tooth decay. Where needed, upon evaluation by our dentist, we may carry out an x-ray to evaluate the need for any other procedures. We like to ask questions about the health of your child and any medication he or she may be using as some diseases often increase the risk of oral diseases. Some medications have also been known to lead to dry mouth which can cause tooth decay. We may also include counseling on diet and inquire about some of the lifestyle choices of your child. In some cases, we do take an impression of the mouth to help us evaluate your child's bite. We then give you all of the available treatment options in response to the results. Visit us at Charlie Hsieh Dental Corporation to have the dental health of your child examined by our team. Feel free to call us at (657) 822-0328 to schedule an appointment. |
