• Oral Hygiene & Prevention
Good oral hygiene and routine preventive care are very important to your child's overall health. In South Carolina, one of the top reasons for children to visit the health room nurse are due to dentally related problems. Dr. French encourages parents to participate in their child's oral hygiene routine every night until the child is 12 years old. Brushing and flossing are essential to a good oral hygiene program. Good oral hygiene can significantly reduce the formation of decay and the number of cavities your child may have in a lifetime. When teeth are not clean, the decay causing acids formed by the bacteria in the mouth cause the enamel to weaken and become more susceptible to decay. Proper brushing and flossing is the key to the prevention of decay. Parents must help with these important skills each night. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child be seen by the pediatric dentist by 12 months of age. Even though your child may not have many teeth at this time, it is important for the pediatric dentist to examine your child's mouth to make sure that no problems exist or may be encountered. Routine examinations are encouraged every 6 months thereafter. Between 10 and 12 months of age be sure to substitute the baby bottle for a cup. From this age on, never let your child fall asleep with the bottle or sippy cup as this may lead to severe decay known as Nursing Bottle Decay. If you have any questions on the oral health of your child, please do not hesitate to call our office.
• Why choose a pediatric dentist
The pediatric dentist is the specialist who is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. The very young, preteens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development and helping them avoid future dental problems. The pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet these needs. They are trained and qualified to treat special patients who may have emotional, physical, or mental handicaps. Because of this specialized training and commitment to comprehensive oral health, many parents choose a pediatric dentist to treat their children.
