Protecting Vulnerable Teeth
Children’s teeth are more susceptible to cavities than adults. They frequently do not brush properly, and they eat more times during the day. Consequently, acids, bacteria, and plaque will develop rapidly. If teeth are already not as clean as they need to be, extended exposure to acid (created in the mouth when food particles and residue are present) will hasten the rate of cavity development.
We urge parents to supervise their children’s daily dental routine until they can clean their teeth properly by themselves. We offer instruction on making better nutritional choices to help care for their teeth, and we offer the application of a fluoride varnish to mineralize their teeth to significantly reduce the prospect of incurring cavities.
