Children’s Dentistry

Dr. Aarti Puri practice provides dental care for children as well as adults.

Children need to go to the dentist so that they can learn how to care for their teeth and gums. It is important that parents take them when they are young in order to get into good habits.

Here are 7 reasons why they need to visit the dentist regularly:

1. Children will need to learn to brush properly. This is so they can clean their teeth.

2. They will need to learn how to floss their teeth. Children should floss every day.

3. The dentist can check for cavities. A child will need to have the cavities filled when they occur.

4. By visiting the dentist regularly, a parent will know if the child is developing gum disease. The dentist can correct the problem if it is occurring.

5. The dentist will be able to see if a child needs braces. If there is a need to get braces, the dentist will discuss this with the parents.

6. A dentist will also be able to tell if a child need’s a tooth pulled due to overcrowding in the mouth. The dentist will also be able to tell when the wisdom teeth are coming in, and if they need pulled also.

7. The child will receive encouragement from the dentist. The dentist will want to see them taking care of their teeth and gums in the proper way.

Visiting the dentist regularly will be good for a child in the above ways. They will get used to going every 6 months in order to make sure that their teeth and gums are healthy.
