Preventive Dentistry
When to start preventive dentistry?


Preventive dentistry begins with the
first tooth.  Bring your child for a visit
to our clinic at the eruption of their
first tooth.  Doing so can help you
learn how to protect your infant'
dental health.

The earlier the dental visit, the
better the chance of preventing
dental disease and helping your child
belong to the cavity-free generation.
How does Dr. Shah help prevent
dental problems?

Tooth cleaning and polishing and
fluoride treatments are all part of your
child's prevention program.  But there
is more.  For example, Dr. Shah can
apply sealants to protect your child
against tooth decay, help you get a
mouth guard to prevent sports injuries
to the face and teeth, and provide
early diagnostics and care of
orthodontic problems.

As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Shah is
uniquely trained to develop a
combination of office and home
preventive care to insure your child a
happy smile!
Role of parents in prevention


After evaluating your child's dental
health, we will design a personalized
program of home care for your child.  
The program will include brushing and
flossing instructions, diet counseling,
and if necessary, fluoride
recommendations.  

By following these directions, you can
help give your child a lifetime of
healthy habits.
Preventative Care - Pediatric Denticare, P.C.
What is preventive dentistry?

Preventive dentistry for children includes:

  • Brushing
  • Dental Development
  • Flossing
  • Fluoride
  • Oral Habits
  • Orthodontics
  • Parent Involvement
  • Proper Diet
  • Sealants
  • Sports Safety
Why is preventive dentistry important?

Preventive dentistry leads to a healthy oral health for your child.  Benefits of good oral
health in children are as follows:

  • Children chew more easily and gain more nutrients from the food they eat.

  • They learn to speak more quickly and clearly.

  • They have a better chance at better general health, because disease in the mouth
    can endanger the rest of the body.

  • A healthy mouth is more attractive, giving children confidence in their appearance.

  • Finally, preventive dentistry means less extensive - and less expensive - treatment
    for your child.
