Children
Our team at Ashland Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is well experienced in children’s treatments. Dr. Tahvili is a caring and gentle dentist and will patiently examine your child’s teeth. We encourage regular checkups from a young age to ensure children grow up with a healthy smile. We welcome your children as early as 3 years old for introduction to dental cleaning and exam and also to detect if there is any need for early dental intervention and referral to see a pediatric dentist.
We are here to care for your family and offer several preventative treatments tailored to your little ones:
Fluoride applications are a safe and effective way to safeguard your growing child’s teeth from developing decay. The fluoride is painted onto the surface of the child’s teeth and this helps to mineralize the teeth. Sealants are tooth colored and applied to biting surfaces of children’s teeth to prevent decay.
At what age should my child start orthodontics?
This can vary from child to child, but it is advised to wait for all the permanent teeth to come through at age 11-12 years. We recommend that your child keep up with regular checkups with the dentist so that the development of the teeth can be monitored, and early orthodontic intervention arranged if necessary. Sealants are tooth colored and applied to biting surfaces of children’s teeth to prevent decay.
