Little smiles are very susceptible to problems like improper development, decay, or dental injuries, but you may be worried about how your little one will react at the dentist\u2019s office. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Bobby Carmen<\/a> understands how crucial it is for young children to have a pleasant and comfortable experience when they first come to our office; after all, establishing good dental hygiene habits now can set them up on a path towards lifelong oral health! That\u2019s why our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/contact.html\">Norman<\/a> practice is happy to offer a host of gentle, personalized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/childrens-dentistry.html\">children\u2019s dentistry<\/a> services, all guaranteed to keep little smiles shining brightly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Child\u2019s First Visit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children often become anxious or upset when faced with places, people, or situations that are completely unfamiliar to them. That\u2019s why <strong>Dr. Carmen<\/strong> recommends that parents bring their child to an appointment when they\u2019re around one year old. This gives us the chance to explain how you should approach your child\u2019s dental care as they grow older; we can also check for any developmental problems regarding tooth growth. This early visit introduces your child to the sights and sounds of our Norman practice early on; this way, when they come in for their first regular check-up, they\u2019ll be familiar with our team already!<\/p>\n<p>Around the age of three, your son or daughter should begin attending regular check-ups or cleanings. Our team will be sure to provide gentle care that pays close attention to your child\u2019s unique needs. We can also show them the correct techniques for brushing and flossing! As we move forward, we can also provide them with other effective <strong>children\u2019s dentistry<\/strong> treatments, such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments, which are used to keep teeth strong and cavity-free.<\/p>\n<p>Here at the practice <strong>of Dr. Carmen<\/strong>, our team is happy to provide comprehensive care to every member of your family. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/contact.html\">Call<\/a> our <strong>Norman <\/strong>office today with any questions you may have about our <strong>children\u2019s dentistry<\/strong> services, or if you\u2019re ready to schedule an appointment. We also serve patients from <strong>Moore, the University of Oklahoma, Central Oklahoma<\/strong>, and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a parent, you do everything you can to keep your children healthy and happy, including watching their diet, making sure they exercise, and kissing their boo-boos \u2013 but what about their dental care?
