Since having a beautiful smile begins with having healthy teeth; proper dental care should be a lifelong practice, starting as early as possible. Parents can start promoting effective dental care habits for their children, even during infancy.
Dr. Kevin Sands, of Smiles of Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, California, provides even the youngest patients with effective dental care, through his infant and pediatric dental services. Dr. Sands says dental appointments for children are extremely important for evaluating their teeth and gums, and are also beneficial for teaching children proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Since a child's teeth form before they are even born, expectant mothers should be sure to eat a balanced, healthy diet during their pregnancy, and to treat any existing cavities or gum disease treated. According to Dr. Sands, children will begin developing teeth around 6 months of age. At 6 months of age, the child's teeth can first be evaluated for any potential dental problems or diseases. Dr. Sands adds that parents can brush their infant's teeth at home, with either soft toothbrush or gauze.
Following a child's first evaluation at 6 months of age, Dr. Sands recommends scheduling a second, follow-up appointment after the child's first birthday. Starting after the child's first birthday, dentists suggest that parents begin to schedule regular cleanings and check-ups every six months. Parents can also help improve their child's dental health, by monitoring their diet and keeping them from eating foods high in sugars and can lead to cavities, keeping the child away from cigarette smoke, and making sure the child gets an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals.
Dr. Sands encourages parents to take an active role in their child's dental health, by supervising their brushing and flossing habits, while still giving the child confidence in his or her ability to care for their teeth independently as they age. Dr. Sands also works closely with his young patients, guiding them through the proper methods of dental hygiene, and offering them comprehensive, compassionate care.
In addition to infant and pediatric dental services, Dr. Sands offers cosmetic and general dentistry treatments, at his practice in Beverly Hills, California. Interested parties should contact Dr. Sands directly by phone at 310.273.0111, or http://www.smilesofbeverlyhills.com.
