Children's Dentistry
Dr Cave is dedicated to improving and maintaining the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents. You might have thought getting cavities was a fact of life, but thanks to fluoride, dental sealants, and better dental habits, 55 percent of school-age children now have no cavities. This advance in the dental health of children is an equal amount of marketing good dentistry to the public and the many successful scientific advances in dentistry.
The dramatic drop in cavities among children with regular dental care is due to regular visits to the dentist starting at an early age, professional teeth cleaning for children, proper tooth brushing habits, fluoride, and dental sealants.
The toothbrush that you decide to have your child use should be small enough to fit comfortably into your child's hand and mouth and it also should have soft bristles.
Dental sealants are a great way to protect your child's permanent teeth from cavities. The placement of dental sealants is painless and fast. Dental sealants are a clear and protective coating that is applied individually to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant protects the tooth from getting any cavities by filling in cracks and fissures, which shields the tooth against bacteria and plaque. Sealants are most commonly placed on children's permanent back teeth because they are more prone to cavities. Most insurance companies pay for sealants placed on children's posterior teeth.
Preventive dentistry is a remarkable success story in public health. Prevention has worked especially well in school-aged children where the average number of cavities in their permanent teeth has declined dramatically in the last three decades.
At Dayton Dental, Dr Cave and his assistants can provide all aspects of preventative dental care and restorative dentistry for your children. Dr Cave recommends that you begin bringing your children to the dentist for their first check up at age 2.5 to 3.0.
