Here at Modestow Family Dentistry, we realize that the number one priority when it comes to your child being able to maintain strong, cavity-free teeth and healthy gums is the preventive and proactive care that comes from our pediatric dental exams and cleanings, which should be scheduled every six months. In addition, we're pleased that our kids club is part of the positivity that sets our office apart.
Our Northampton pediatric dentist should see your child two times per year because of the effects of the sticky, invisible bacterial film known as dental plaque. It's responsible for decaying your child's precious tooth enamel, as well as irritating and reddening her or his gums, which are the signs of early stage gum disease. Proper brushing and flossing is highly effective in the removal of plaque, but some of it can hide away in gum pockets and generally out of reach of home oral hygiene, subsequently turning into hardened tartar. For that, you need our Northampton pediatric dentist. Cleanings eliminate tartar buildup and residual plaque, but they also have another benefit: they reverse the effects of early stage gum disease. The dental exam portion of the visit is designed to detect the presence of any cavities early enough so that they cannot grow large enough to put her or him at increased risk of toothaches, infections, and early loss of baby teeth. And your child will find our kids club to be a fun addition to the visits here, because when she or he develops good attitudes about dentistry now, those attitudes will say with him or her well into adulthood.
Our Northampton pediatric dentist is your partner in promoting your child's dental wellness. Schedule an appointment to come in with your child. Contact our office right now to arrange a convenient time.
