Lewis Clinic Dentistry Stresses the Importance of Having a Good Pediatric Dentist
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) November 29, 2014 -- Young children, even those just beginning to get their teeth, need to see a good pediatric dentist on a regular basis. Lewis Clinic Dentistry stresses the importance of dental visits as early as age one or within six months of the child getting his or her first baby tooth. While some parents may find that somewhat early, the Canadian Dental Association encourages all parents to take an early interest in their children’s dental health.
In addition to the Association’s encouragement of early childhood dental visits, many professionals also encourage parents to take their children to the dentist by age two to three for a checkup by a dental hygienist. There are several reasons for this. First, it will give parents and children a chance to learn about proper at-home teeth cleanings. Children may not be brushing properly, and parents may not realize this. During this early checkup, the hygienist will have a chance to talk to the child directly about brushing and other good oral hygiene.
An early assessment will also allow a dentist to tell if the child may have crowded or crooked teeth. An evaluation of the baby teeth is often a good indicator of how the child’s permanent teeth will grow in and can be used to help prepare a plan of treatment. Visiting a pediatric dentist during these formative years can also help teach a child that a visit to the dentist is not scary. Getting over this fear will help children, parents, and dentists have a much more productive relationship.
Dr. Nadia Lewis and her staff have years of experience in the area of pediatric dentistry. Dr. Lewis spent three years working with children internationally and has a passion for pediatric dentistry. Dr. Lewis also enjoys working with children and has cultivated a bedside manner that puts many of the clinic’s young patients at ease, even patients who still have some lingering fear of the dentist.
Dr. Lewis invites all parents to visit the clinic and ask questions of the staff before making an appointment for their children. The professionals at Lewis Clinic Dentistry understand that parents want more than just a pediatric dentist—parents seek a good pediatric dentist who will provide children with the best possible oral hygiene and care.
