\"122406213\"<\/a>Is there anything more precious than your little ones\u2019 smiles? Well yes\u2014knowing that those smiles are healthy, too. At Central Dental Associates<\/a> in Norwood, MA<\/a>, our dentists believe that the foundation of good oral health begins early. Therefore, we place a premium on children\u2019s dentistry<\/a> in our practice, focusing on teaching you and your child how best to care for their teeth and gums at home and preventing problems before they begin.<\/p>\n

Prevention Starts Early<\/b><\/p>\n

Actually, children\u2019s dentistry<\/b> begins even before your child visits the dentist, and it begins with you. As soon as you see that first baby tooth appear, it\u2019s time to begin cleaning. Just take a soft cloth moistened with warm water and wipe baby teeth clean after feeding. As more teeth appear, you can use a small, soft toothbrush dipped in warm water. Begin using a small amount of toothpaste when they are old enough to spit.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Dentistry at Central Dental Associates<\/b><\/p>\n

The dentists at Central Dental Associates would like to begin seeing your children for checkups when they\u2019re about three years old. At their first checkup we\u2019ll examine and count their teeth, assess the health of their gums, and\u2014if they seem ready\u2014we\u2019ll clean their teeth, too. Of course, we hope we don\u2019t find any signs of tooth decay. If we do, however, we will repair the cavity with a tooth-colored filling, so your child can have a metal-free smile.<\/p>\n

As your children grow and mature, there are other preventive treatments we may recommend including fluoride rinses, dental sealants and athletic mouthguards. We want your children to enjoy the benefits of good oral health care, and we look forward to seeing you and them in our office soon!<\/p>\n
