Why Do I Need Dental Sealants?

When brushing and flossing our teeth, it is not always easy to get between every nook and cranny. That is why it is important to schedule your biannual dental appointment to ensure that your child’s smile is healthy and free from cavities or tooth decay.

Why Primary Teeth Are Important

Primary teeth are important for several reasons. Foremost, good teeth allow a child to eat and maintain good nutrition. Healthy teeth allow for clear pronunciation and speech habits. The self-image that healthy teeth give a child is immeasurable. Primary teeth also guide eruption of the permanent teeth. Losing primary teeth early due to cavities can sometimes cause very crowded permanent teeth.

Good Diet and Healthy Teeth

The teeth, bones and soft tissue of the mouth require a healthy, well-balanced diet. A variety of foods from the five food groups help minimize (and avoid) cavities and other dental problems. Most snacks that children eat cause cavities, so try to have more healthy foods like vegetables, low-fat yogurt and cheeses, which promote strong teeth.
