\"122406213\"<\/a>There are so many things parents do to protect their children: buckle them into car seats, vaccinate them from childhood diseases, hold their hands when crossing the street, and the list goes on. One more important measure parents can take is regular visits to the dentist. Children\u2019s dentistry<\/a> is a vital component of maintaining your children\u2019s oral health, as well as their general health. Dr. Bobby J. Carmen<\/a> in Norman, OK<\/a>, provides the gentle care children need in order to help them build a strong foundation for a lifetime of dental care.<\/p>\n

Actually, children\u2019s dentistry<\/strong> begins even before your child visits Dr. Carmen, and it begins with you, the parent. The time to start cleaning your child\u2019s teeth is when that first baby tooth appears. Just moisten a soft cloth with warm water and gently wipe baby teeth after each feeding. Then, when your children celebrate their first birthdays, you can bring them to see Dr. Carmen for a consult. We\u2019ll go over their proper dental care with you and check for any dental concerns.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Dentistry Means Regular Checkups<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beginning around the time your children are three-years-old, you should begin scheduling their regular dental checkups every six months. As we do when you visit Dr. Carmen for a checkup, we\u2019ll clean your children\u2019s teeth and we\u2019ll examine their gums and check their teeth for decay, because children are not immune to gum disease and cavities. If Dr. Carmen finds a cavity, he will likely recommend a tooth-colored filling.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Cleaning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are particularly important for your children\u2019s dental health. Fluoride strengthens enamel, which is the first line of defense against decay-causing bacteria. And while fluoride is added to drinking water and toothpaste, a fluoride rinse from the dentist provides a necessary boost. Likewise, dental sealants offer an additional boost. Sealants are \u201cpainted\u201d on to your children\u2019s deeply grooved molars and harden to form an added layer of protection against decay.<\/p>\n
