We set your kids up for success
Read Transcript
Oftentimes, older children, like around 8 or 9 come to us and their parents didn’t realize that they needed to start seeing a dentist at a pretty young age. And so basically, our goal with preventative dentistry is to get kids on the right track. So parents know what to expect what to offer, what foods to avoid, and it helps them be prepared and hopefully avoid problems later in life.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that all children are seen by one year of age or within six months of their first tooth erupting. So around one year old is a great time to bring your kids in. And at that time, we brush their teeth, we apply fluoride varnish. And the most important thing is that we talk to the parents about how to care for the teeth so that we can set your kids up for success.
The other aspect of this is that if we get kids into the office at a young age, they become more comfortable. And so if they haven’t seen us until they’re eight or nine, they’re generally pretty fearful because it’s a new environment and they’re not used to it. So starting your kids early and young at the dentist helps you acclimate them to the whole process. So if that sounds like something you’re interested in, we would love to have your kids come to our office and we’d really enjoy meeting them.

Give Your Child’s Grin a Healthy Foundation
Many parents believe that preventive care isn’t necessary since their child’s baby teeth will eventually fall out. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth! Untreated cavities can lead to infections that can get in the way of your child playing, learning, eating normal foods, and more. Our preventive care includes:
- Cleanings and Exams – We will thoroughly clean your child’s teeth, removing any of the plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to oral health problems. Then, Dr. Alli will use special tools to examine your child’s mouth for cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. When necessary, we’ll develop a treatment plan with you to address any areas of concern uncovered during the exam.
- Fluoride Treatment – After we’ve cleaned your child’s teeth, we do a fluoride treatment that will remineralize and strengthen the enamel. It can even reverse the first stages of tooth decay.
- Dental Sealants – This treatment creates a seal on your child’s teeth that stops bacteria, acid, and food particles from causing cavities. We apply this transparent liquid resin directly to the teeth and harden the sealant with a special UV light.
- Nutrition for Healthy Teeth – Preventive care also includes good nutrition! Whole grains, milk, yogurt, vegetables rich in fiber, crunchy vegetables like carrots, lean meats, and fresh fruits are all great for growing teeth. We’d be happy to share tips on which foods your child should have more of, and which ones you should limit.
By visiting us regularly for preventive care, you are developing strong oral health routines that stay with your child into their adult years. We are proud to be your child’s partner in dental care and provide the preventive services they need to keep their smile healthy and beautiful.

Common Questions About Preventive Dentistry
What is preventive dentistry?
Preventive dentistry includes several services that are designed to help your child maintain an attractive smile and optimal oral health. Among these are dental cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and even oral cancer screenings. Routine dental care goes a long way toward keeping your child’s smile in the best shape possible.
Why is preventive dentistry important?
Preventive dentistry is important because it forms the basis for a healthy mouth and long-lasting smile. Without regular basic dental care, the condition of your child’s teeth and gums can begin to deteriorate, causing them to need more invasive treatments like tooth fillings and crowns. It may also lead to more serious dental health concerns when their adult teeth come in.
Is preventive care covered by dental insurance?
Yes. Most dental insurance plans will cover preventive treatment like regular cleanings and exams for your child. Many plans also cover fluoride treatments and sealants as well. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to confirm exactly what they cover. If you don’t have insurance, make sure to sign up for our membership plan so you can afford regular preventive care for your child.
