Our pediatric preventive dental care in Salt Lake City, Taylorsville, Holladay and Cottonwood Heights, Utah, is designed to stop tooth decay before it starts. For parents with infants, we encourage you to bring your child in when their first tooth erupts, and no later than one year old, for their very first visit. From there, we can monitor your child’s oral development through each stage of growth, be it their primary teeth or their secondary teeth. We will maintain their oral health by detecting and treating dental concerns before they become larger problems.
The Importance of Regular Visits
The best way to do that is to come in for your child’s regular visits with our pediatric dentists and team twice a year. We offer a variety of preventive dental services at Salt Lake Pediatric Dentistry to help your child’s smile remain healthy, including:
Building a Strong Foundation for Lifelong Health
Many parents may wrongly underestimate the importance of pediatric dental care because their child’s teeth will eventually be replaced by their secondary teeth. However, children are prone to just as many dental problems as adults, and detrimental tooth decay can harmfully affect their secondary teeth when they come in and, in turn, their permanent smile. That is why it is important to maintain their healthiest smile from the very start.
Our team also provides valuable education for both children and caregivers. From proper brushing techniques to tips on nutrition and cavity prevention, we help families make informed decisions about daily dental habits. These small routines have a big impact on long-term oral health. We also work to make visits fun and informative so that children develop a positive attitude toward their dental care.
