We love seeing children at Cedar Lodge Dental Group! We understand the convenience of having the entire family receive dental treatment under one roof, and we encourage you to bring your children to our practice. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday. However, we have found that most children have a more enjoyable first visit between the ages of two and three.
During their first visit, we take a gentle and relaxed approach. Our goal is to create a positive and non-threatening environment for our young patients. We introduce them to the dental tools and equipment in a fun and engaging manner. Our team performs teeth polishing, a thorough examination, and applies topical fluoride varnish. X-rays are typically taken when their first adult molars erupt, which is usually around the age of six, or if there are any specific concerns.
At Cedar Lodge Dental Group, we go above and beyond to prioritize childhood dental care and promote overall well-being. Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive and gentle dental services specifically designed for children. We believe in the power of regular dental checkups and orthodontic treatments, including airway focused orthodontics, to prevent oral health issues and ensure proper growth and development. Additionally, we specialize in identifying and addressing tongue tie and offer myofunctional therapy to optimize oral function. By combining our expertise in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and myofunctional therapy, we strive to create a positive and nurturing environment where children can receive exceptional care and develop lifelong oral health habits. Trust us to provide your child with the dental care they deserve, supporting their healthy smiles and overall well-being.
