\"Take<\/a>Don\u2019t be fooled. Baby teeth are not disposable. They are important to proper speech, nutrition and facial structure. They usher in those big permanent teeth. The family dentists at Williamsburg Dental LLC in Lincoln ask parents to bring their kids to the office by age three for regular preventive care. Learn what happens at a child\u2019s first dental visit and what dental services care for young smiles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Baby Teeth<\/h3>\n

A baby\u2019s bottom central incisors typically erupt between the ages of six and eight months. Other teeth soon follow, adding to parents\u2019 lists of responsibilities. Mom or Dad must wipe little mouths with a warm washcloth or gauze after meals. Toothbrushing with a small smear of toothpaste begins at one year. Supervised hygiene continues until a child has good manual dexterity and\u00a0 the discipline to brush and floss everyday independently.<\/p>\n

Young teeth help a child eat and speak properly. Baby teeth provide the pathways for adult teeth to be correctly aligned, avoiding costly restorative and orthodontic treatment. Bottom line, the first teeth are placeholders, ensuring a healthy and attractive adult smile.<\/p>\n

So, the doctors and support staff at Williamsburg Dental\u00a0 look forward to seeing children for their\u00a0 dental visits. The first time in the dental chair, on a parent\u2019s lap, gives the child great security that going to the dentist is a pleasant experience.<\/p>\n

For babies and toddlers, the dentist checks the mouth for proper development and evidence of decay; he also counts the teeth. Parents receive instruction on oral hygiene, good nutrition and \u201cbaby bottle decay<\/a>\u201d–a threat to baby teeth when milk or juice collects in the mouth with a bedtime bottle feeding.<\/p>\n

As a child grows, dental appointments expand to include digital X-rays at proper intervals, orthodontic evaluation by age seven and information on athletic mouthguards to protect against injury. The dental hygienist gently scales teeth to remove plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and interdental spaces. The individualized treatment plan includes restorations (fillings, for instance) as needed and in-office fluoride treatments to strengthen and protect tooth enamel.<\/p>\n

Additionally, your Lincoln family dentist frequently applies plastic sealants on back molars.\u00a0 A special liquid painted on chewing surfaces, sealants protect teeth from cavities for up to ten years.<\/p>\n

Parents, take note, too: Drs. Kotopka, Gessford, Killeen, Beddes and Rossini<\/a> at Williamsburg Dental stress the importance of immediate care for pressing oral health problems such as toothaches, lost restorations or knocked out or cracked teeth. Please contact the office immediately if a dental emergency arises for one of your children. We will provide quick and compassionate advice and get you into the office as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Dental Care is Important Care<\/h3>\n

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry urges parents to prioritize their children\u2019s oral health. Incidence of dental decay escalates when kids don\u2019t see their\u00a0 dentists, but with six-month cleanings and exams, young smiles flourish.<\/p>\n

If your child has started getting his or her first teeth, contact Williamsburg Dental LLC<\/a> for a pediatric dental visit. Look forward to years of great smiles!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
