Teeth for Life

Practicing good oral hygiene means maintaining your child’s smile by visiting the dentist regularly and taking care of the teeth and gums between checkups. Our practice seeks to make sure your child gets the most out of office visits, and that his or her teeth stay healthy for life!

We’ll work with you to provide complete dental care, and show you how to maintain your little one’s smile at home with the right dental products for you and your family.

Dental Cleanings and Regular Checkups

Regular dental checkups are an important part of maintaining good oral health. During regular checkups, the hygienist will:

  • Check for any problems that may not be seen or felt
  • Look for cavities or other signs of tooth decay
  • Inspect the teeth and gums for gingivitis and signs of periodontal disease
  • Perform a thorough teeth cleaning, rinse, and polish

Visiting our office every six months will give you and your child the chance to ask Dr. Remya or Dr. Josh any questions you may have about your family’s oral health. Checkups are also a great way to find out about new treatments that may benefit your youngster’s smile.

Choosing the Right Toothpaste and Toothbrush

From toothpaste and mouthwash to toothbrushes and dental floss, it’s wise to choose the right products. Keep in mind that when you’re looking for a new toothpaste or toothbrush, be sure to choose one that has been approved by the American Dental Association (ADA). We can help by recommending certain dental products for use at home.
