Here at 7 Day Dental we firmly believe in preventative measures as part of our all inclusive Anaheim Children’s Dentistry practice. We feel that the justification in our focus on this kind of preventative dentistry lies in the fact that a growing number of preschool children have cavities.
We want every child to get the best dental care and to that end we’ve put together some ideas on how we treat children with special needs. It’s important to us to make sure every child starts life off with a beautiful smile and healthy bright teeth.
Special Needs
The Academy of Pediatric Dentistry defines special-needs children as those with emotional or physical limitations as well as developmental or behavioral concerns. Understanding the requirements of these children is one of the things that we gladly do here at 7 Day Dental. We understand these special kids have special needs that include:
- Understanding that some of the medications they might be on can promote tooth decay because they contain more sugar than regular medicines. When that’s the case we are only too happy to go over a special oral hygiene routine with the parents.
- There are other times where children with special needs may suffer from crowding and poor alignment of their teeth which makes them harder to keep clean. That’s where the experts at our Anaheim Children’s Dentistry practice can put together a routine so your child’s mouth can be examined as much as needed and their teeth can be cleaned professionally.
- Finding the right dentist is a big part of looking after your special-needs child’s teeth. These children deserve the same top-notch dental care as any other, and we are committed to catching their dental problems before they become bigger issues.
Our Anaheim Children’s Dentistry practice is always ready to look after special-needs children to come into our office. We want to make sure all children enjoy the benefit of a healthy smile and beautiful white teeth for as long as possible. Seeking dental care early and often is one of the pathways to making sure your child has an excellent set of teeth for a lifetime.
Remember dental examinations and dental cleanings are two of the cornerstones to preventing any kind of gum or tooth disease in your child. Call us anytime, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or look us up on YouTube. We’re always looking forward to seeing you and your children.
