In our last blog, we discussed how treating cavities to prevent premature tooth loss is important for little smiles. In today’s blog, we would like to continue our discussion on children’s dentistry. Your Tucson, AZ, dentist will look at proper brushing and flossing habits for kids, and the importance of making time for an exam and cleaning every six months!
Does A Child Need A Dental Restoration?
Kids eventually lose their baby teeth, as they begin to fall out around age six and continue to do so as the permanent teeth arrive. Which means if a baby tooth develops a cavity, then treatment isn’t really necessary right? Wrong. In fact, ignoring a cavity in a primary tooth could mean the onset of serious consequences, including misalignment! Learn why your kids need a restoration from their Tucson, AZ, dentist.
When Does A Smile Need A Perio Cleaning?
A routine dental cleaning is offered every six months to help prevent the onset of gum disease and other common oral health issues. But what if you have the warning signs of gingivitis, or suffer from gum disease? To prevent the issue from leading to poor oral health and a higher risk of missing teeth, your Tucson, AZ, dentist may suggest a perio cleaning, also known as a scaling and root planing.
