Children's Dental Care

Early check-ups are key to motivating your child and initiating good dental habits. At Cahaba Dental Arts we strive to make your child's dental experience a pleasant one. At this visit we will examine the child’s teeth, give you updates on their oral health and growth, and show you proper home care.

There are a few things you can talk to your child about that will help ease the anxiety they may have:

*Tell your child that the hygientist is going to polish their teeth and then the dentist will come in and count them
*Set a good example by brushing and flossing in front of your child and by visiting your dentist regularly
*Don’t use words such as “hurt, drill, shot, needle, or pull”
*Don't let your child know that you may have anxiety about going to the dentist
*Don't let siblings or friends tell your child scary stories about going to the dentist

Try to make dental visits fun for your child!!!

Baby Teeth are Important!!!
Baby teeth are important to your child’s overall health. Children need strong, healthy baby teeth to eat well and a healthy smile builds self-esteem. Baby teeth are also important in maintaining space for permanent teeth. Early loss of baby teeth can lead to an unhealthy diet and crowding problems. We provide comprehensive preventative and restorative services for your child.
