Your Oakville Dentist That Takes The Best Care Of Your Child’s Teeth
As parents we hate to see our children in pain. When the cause of your child’s pain is a dental problem, your dentist can quickly repair and restore the tooth and get rid of the pain. Our goal at Bronte Road Family Dental is to help you learn the best way to take care of your kid’s teeth so that these problems are avoided.
Kid’s cavities
Cavities are a very common dental problem that can in fact be avoided. Cavities develop as a result of natural bacteria that live in the mouth. These living bacteria feed on sugar and food residue left in the mouth after meals and snacks. Once the bacteria process the food left behind, they secrete a waste that is toxic to oral tissues. If the mouth isn’t cleaned after you consume food and drinks, cavities will form and potentially lead to pain from a toothache. Cavities on kid’s teeth due to excess bacteria are impacted by several factors which are all in our control.
Sugar however is not the only cause of cavities. Though we all know that sugary foods and beverages should be limited of avoided, carbohydrates like bread and pastas are also ideal food choices for those bacteria. The risk of cavities also increases in those who consume acidic foods and drinks. Acid is hidden in many of the foods we eat on a daily basis such as sports drinks and salad dressings. Research has shown that the risk of getting cavities is higher in those whose family members also have cavities. Dental sealants will protect the back teeth from bacteria by sealing those deep grooves on the molars.
Your kids deserve the best smile
Kid’s teeth are something special. It can light up the room in an instant and when your child is feeling uncomfortable, as parents all you want to do is make them feel better. If your child is suffering from a toothache, you may feel like there isn’t much that you can do to take the pain away. Toothaches are most often caused by a cavity. The good news is, your dental team is here to help educate you in preventing cavities, which means you can prevent those painful oral problems for you child. At Bronte Road Family Dental we provide a gentle and nurturing experience for you child.
Consistency is one of the main keys in helping your child maintain healthy teeth. A routine for your child that is easy and comfortable for them will go a long way. Having your child brush and floss their teeth is only the first step of several to maintain good oral hygiene. Until the age of 8 years old, a child isn’t able to manage his or her routine on their own without help. Up until this time, parents can slowly go from doing the actually brushing to just overseeing the brushing, to finally just looking at the final results when your child is done brushing on their own.
Our team at Bronte Road Family Dental are here to guide you in the right direction. We offer a dental program catered to kids to help them achieve healthy teeth. We are here to help support you and your family in the development of healthy oral habits. While you are in our office we take ample time to ensure the comfort of our patients.
