Newport Beach Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Dentistry is the specialty that focuses on the oral health and unique needs of young people. The pediatric dentist completes an additional two to three years of rigorous training after receiving their dental degree. This specialized program of study and hands-on experience prepares pediatric dentists to meet the unique needs of your infants, children and teens, including children with special health care needs. Our goal, along with our staff, is to help children feel good about visiting the dentist and to teach them how to care for their teeth. Pleasant visits to the dental office promote the establishment of trust and confidence in your child that will last a lifetime. Visit our offices in orange county

Preventing Tooth Decay

We are concerned about your child's total health care. Good oral health is an important part of total health. Dental decay is an infection of the tooth. Visiting us early can help avoid unnecessary cavities and dental treatment. Studies have shown that children with poor oral health have decreased school performance, poor social relationships and less success later in life. Children experiencing pain from decayed teeth are distracted and unable to concentrate on schoolwork.

Importance of Primary Teeth (Baby Teeth)

Primary teeth serve a number of critical be functions in early age and it is exceptionally important for children to keep them in place until they are lost naturally. Primary teeth serve the function of:

Maintain good nutrition by permitting your child to chew properly.
Are involved in speech development
Help permanent teeth by saving space for them

Infants and Children
An important step on the road to teaching your child healthy lifetime habits involves getting an early start in regular dental care. The first dental visit should occur no later than the child's first birthday. Early tooth and mouth examinations may lead to detection of early stages of tooth decay that can be easily treated.

Teens
Appearance and self- image are very important to teens. Decayed or poorly positioned teeth or jaws might make them more self- conscious. We guide teens by teaching preventive dental health care and healthy diet habits.

First Visit

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends regular dental visits for children at 1 year of age. Let the first tooth remind you that it's time to see your pediatric dentist. At age 1, we only do an initial exam which lasts only a few minutes. An early dental visit can help prevent the development of decay and establish dental health care and good diet habits.

The first visit will include an initial examination, dental x-rays if necessary, followed by oral hygiene and diet instructions to emphasize proper oral health care. If your child is 3 or older, a cleaning and polishing of their teeth will usually follow along with an application of fluoride.

Tips for a great dental visit:

Schedule an appointment time when your child is alert and well rested. Younger children tend to do better earlier in the day.
Explain to your child that the dentist will count his/her teeth.
Please use positive language around your child when discussing their dental visit. Avoid using words that may cause unnecessary fear such as hurt, pull, drill, shot, and don't let others tell your child negative stories about dental visits. Also, an anxious parent can cause unnecessary anxiety for the child. Your child's dental visit should be an important and fun adventure, so if you are relaxed and positive about this experience, it will help them be positive too.
