When it comes to good healthy teeth, children today are doing much better than their parents did when they were kids. In the last ten years, cavities have decreased by one-third. Why? Because children have more than fluoride to fight cavities. Pediatric dentists are now putting a plastic surface, a sealant, right over decay-sensitive tooth surfaces so cavities cannot form. Although children have less to worry about today than ever before when going to the dentist, children sometimes experience dental phobia. That is why pediatric dentists work to make every visit a fun event. We believe that children become a part of the cavity-free generation by taking pride in their healthy smile and responsibility for their oral hygiene. So we do not just talk to you about dental health, we talk to your child. We educate them with words, pictures and ideas they easily understand.
