How to Care for Baby Teeth

The primary teeth, also known as the baby teeth, are an important placeholder for permanent teeth. They help a child chew food, speak clearly, and keep their face looking nice. Baby teeth also help support natural speech and a balanced bite.

One way to care for baby teeth is to clean them by brushing twice a day. Parents should use toothpaste with fluoride in it and make sure they brush the front and back of their teeth. Parents should also encourage their children to drink water because it helps rinse away food particles that can cause tooth decay. Even before your child’s first tooth erupts, you should clean their gums using a clean and wet washcloth or cloth.

When the primary teeth erupt, use an infant toothbrush and a rice-sized amount of toothpaste to clean them. Decay may occur on the upper front teeth or primary molars found in the back of the mouth. Because of this, you should also gently floss your child’s teeth.

How to Prevent Cavities in Children

Early tooth decay or gum disease leaves children prone to possibly developing future dental problems. However, we can help curb tooth decay at your dental visits. Our skilled hygienists and family dentists can find early signs of decay during exams. They will also give advice for maintaining excellent dental health at home for both children and their parents.

As soon as our younger patients are able to understand, we can help instruct them on the best brushing and flossing techniques. We encourage caregivers to help set a good example for their children to help them improve and maintain their oral health. Our main goal is to to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

During routine dental visits, we will:

• Examine children’s teeth and gums.
• Address bad oral health habits.
• Teach children about cleaning their teeth and gums.
• Help parents schedule regular dental visits for their children.

Our family dental care services may include the following:

• Teeth cleanings
• Fluoride treatment
• Sealants
• Dental checkup
• Dental fillings/replacements
• Tooth extractions
• Root canal treatment

We offer comprehensive services for more complex needs along with preventive dental services. You can visit us for dental implants, root canal procedures, and gum disease treatments.

Sealants and fluoride are key to cavity prevention. We place sealants on the molars after your child’s dental cleaning. A sealant covers and protects the tooth from decay. When we cover the molars with a sealant, we cover the small grooves in the tooth that can trap leftover food. Sealants help protect the teeth in the back of the mouth, which can be hard to clean at home.

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your enamel or outer tooth layer. You can get it through water or toothpaste when you brush your teeth at home. We offer a fluoride varnish we place on the teeth after cleanings. Fluoride helps prevent cavities and remineralize the teeth.

Adult Dental Care

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy as you age ensures a stable bite, ease of speech, and bright smile. Seek professional dental care at least once every six months. During these visits, the dentist examines your mouth and recommends general, restorative, or cosmetic treatments.

General dental treatments such as emergency dental care, extractions, and cleanings help prevent further oral health problems. Many restorative treatments benefit patients with tooth loss. We can replace a missing tooth or teeth with dental implants, dental bridges, or dentures.

Dr. Fedida can treat worn or yellow teeth with cosmetic solutions like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, or tooth bonding. Over time, the tooth enamel can wear down or stain because of pigmented foods or beverages. Our professionals can provide treatment for every member of the family.

Dental Care for Seniors

As people age, their teeth and gums can become more vulnerable to problems. Seniors often face issues like dry mouth, gum disease, and tooth decay, which can make it harder to eat, speak, and enjoy life. Conditions like diabetes or certain medications can cause dry mouth. Talking to your doctor can make a difference in this problem. If you have dry mouth, we may also suggest changes to your at-home oral hygiene.

Gum disease is a big issue that can begin with bleeding gums and end with tooth loss. Contact us if you notice swollen, irritated, or bleeding gums. Our office offers deep gum cleanings to get your oral health back on track.

We also screen for tooth decay at regular visits. If we find signs of a tooth infection, we will provide the right treatment for your stage of decay. If you lose a tooth because of decay, we offer restorative care to renew the look and function of your teeth.
