One of the beautiful things about children is that their lives are just beginning. They have a whole world to discover and life to live, and it is important that they get started on the right path as healthily as possible. One aspect that is very important is a child’s smile. When a child’s smile is beautiful and healthy, it establishes a healthy oral routine that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Dr. Christina Papageorgiou and Dr. Jennifer Soncini are here to make sure your child’s smile is as healthy as possible, which is why they offer children’s dentistry at their Natick, MA dental office.
When your child comes in for their first appointment, we will be able to evaluate their smiles fully, making sure everything is copasetic. We will inspect every tooth to make sure there are no signs of infection or decay, such as cavities and periodontal issues. We will look at their jaw and their bite, making sure everything is aligned as well as determining the need for orthodontics in the future.
We will also take that opportunity to educate your child on proper brushing and flossing techniques. If we teach your child the proper ways of oral care now, they will be able to carry that knowledge with them throughout their teenage and adult lives. This gives them a better chance at having excellent oral care! We will give your child fluoride treatments and dental sealants during their appointment. Fluoride is a natural mineral that makes teeth stronger, fights of cavities, and attracts other minerals that are conducive to a healthy smile. Dental sealants are thin plastic covers that are painted over your child’s molars. This helps prevent bacteria settling in the grooves of the teeth, reducing the odds of cavities.
If you feel as though your child can benefit from a visit at our office, make an appointment today, and we would love to help your child begin their journey of excellent oral health!
