Cavities are one of the most common diseases that affect children. If they go untreated, cavities can cause pain and infections that might lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing, and learning.
The good news is, cavities are completely preventable. To help aid in prevention, we offer a FREE Infant Smart Start to Great Smiles program for children 6 to 18 months of age. This program aims to keep your child’s teeth cavity free through early intervention and education.
Program Details
Your child’s visit will be scheduled for 30 minutes in our office with one of our Treatment Coordinators. Dr. Jenkins will not be involved with this visit as it’s purely informational in nature. If concerns regarding your child’s oral health arise during the visit, a complete examination with Dr. Jenkins will be recommended.
You Will Learn
How to inspect your child’s teeth for signs of early decay
How to provide proper oral hygiene (brushing/flossing)
The importance of fluoride supplements
Proper diet to promote strong, healthy teeth
The relationship between nursing and tooth decay
The impact of oral habits such as chewing on pacifiers or fingers
You will also receive information packets you can review and reference at home.
A child’s parents are the most important caregivers in promoting early childhood health. This program will give you the tools you need to ensure good oral health for your child. Please call us today to schedule your child’s visit and set them on the path to a beautiful, strong, and lasting smile.
