Common dental treatments for children include:
- Routine cleanings and checkups, which can prevent dental disease and help your child learn healthy dental habits
- Fluoride treatments, which can harden enamel and help teeth develop properly
- Dental sealants, which can keep bacteria from accessing the folds and fissures on the chewing surfaces of teeth
These preventive treatments can all work together with your child’s at-home dental hygiene to reduce their risk of dental problems. You can take steps to protect your child’s smile by encouraging healthy dental habits. Brush their teeth until they are old enough to brush them on their own with supervision. Encourage them to eat a healthy, balanced diet with limited snacks, and offer milk or water, rather than soda or juice to drink.
