Kids with healthy teeth grow up to be adults with healthy teeth.  Your kids should start visiting a dentist as soon as their first tooth has erupted.  Early dental visits also allow your child to develop a good relationship with their dentist.  Many people grow up and are afraid of the dentist.  If your child gets used to coming to the dentist at a young age and has positive experiences — they will likely never develop this common phobia.

If your teenager plays contact sports, research has shown that a custom-made professional Sports Mouthguard by a dentist significantly decreases the chance of both concussions and tooth damage in athletes compared to no mouthguard or an over-the-counter mouthguard.

Seal deep grooves in teeth so bacteria can’t get inside.

 If nothing can get inside, you or your child’s chances of getting a cavity is much, much lower.  One of the most common areas where a cavity will form is on the biting surface of a tooth.  This is because food and bacteria are able to find their way down into the tiny grooves and fissures of the tooth.  Once bacteria find their way into these grooves, the bacteria can begin to grow and cause a full-on cavity.

Fluoride is the chemical compound which has been proven to strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay.

Teeth infused with fluoride are stronger and much more resistant to decay. Fluoride Varnish is a simple application which is painted directly onto the teeth with a small brush. The whole process takes only about one minute.
