Children’s Dentistry

While young children are more prone to cavities than older kids and teens, it’s important to help them develop good habits. Teach your child to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and to floss daily. Be sure to limit sugary foods, beverages, and snacks, as they can break down your child’s enamel and cause cavities. You can also prevent cavities by getting sealants applied to the surfaces of your child’s back teeth, sealing out cavity-causing bacteria.

Be sure to book regular checkups every six months, or as recommended by Dr. Lin. Keeping a regular preventive care regime for your child will help keep their teeth healthy and strong as they grow into teens and young adults.

You and your child can expect gentle, personalized attention at Parkway Place Family Dentistry. Dr. Lin takes her time to make sure your child feels comfortable in the dentist’s chair. She will explain every step of their appointment and help keep them calm and relaxed throughout their visit. Our entire staff is trained to treat children with a patient and compassionate approach, and we will do everything we can to give your child the best possible experience.

Children have unique dental needs as their teeth and jaws develop over time. You can expect to take your child to their first dental appointment by their first birthday, or when their first tooth comes in. This allows Dr. Lin and her team to monitor the growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaws. We can make timely treatment recommendations as issues arise and make sure your child’s smile develops comfortably.
