Children’s Dentistry in Salinas

Blanco Circle Dental Care believes you should value the health of your child’s teeth and gums as much as you do your own and therefore considers children’s dentistry an essential part of our practice. Experts suggest parents begin scheduling dental appointments for their children by age three. If your kids learn, from an early age, the importance of good oral hygiene, odds are they’ll maintain healthy habits for the rest of their lives.

As a general family dental practice, we provide children’s dentistry services to monitor the development of your child’s teeth, instill effective brushing habits and routines, and help prevent decay.

Children’s Dentistry Protects Young Smiles

Some children are more susceptible to cavities in hard-to-reach areas, but problem teeth can be safeguarded with dental sealants. Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to decayed teeth that have been filled, prepared, cleaned, and etched. Dental sealants shield your child’s teeth from bacteria and food residue that can cause decay.

Bottled drinking water lacks fluoride but is used in most homes; therefore fluoride treatments have become a common practice in children’s dentistry. Fluoride attracts other minerals to help strengthen tooth enamel and fight against cavities. Prevention is vital to maintaining healthy teeth and gums, and our approach to children’s dentistry emphasizes warding off dental complications before they start.
