Anxiety-Free Dental Care in
Chicago, Illinois Since 2001
Many people may not think that visits to the dentist are important for toddlers, or even younger children, but they really are! Establishing a dentist early in life is essential to create a trusting relationship between the child and their dentist. Additionally, there are important treatments that may be necessary in early childhood. Our specialist for affordable dental crowns in Chicago, IL, explains more about creating trust for a lifetime.
If you wait too long to bring your child to their first dental appointment, they may react with fear. The easiest way to avoid this is to get them used to dentist appointments earlier in life; if they have a trusting relationship with their dentist starting at a younger age, they will be used to the office and not react with uncertainty or fear!
Another benefit of early dental appointments is catching dental problems early and starting a treatment plan quickly. Our dentist will be able to tell if your child will have issues with the way their teeth are growing in, or if the structure of their jaw will cause teeth misalignment in the future. If you wait too long to have these problems diagnosed, treatment may become more painful or take longer than necessary to complete.
Our dentist offers gentle, kid-friendly dental cleanings and checkups. It’s important to have regular checkups as the baby teeth grow in, as the enamel is thinner and more prone to tooth decay. Other times, our dentist may determine that it’s best to pull a tooth that is not growing in correctly or is blocking a permanent tooth from erupting.
Other treatments our dentist may recommend for your child include:
