Dr. Montgomery Caters to Even the Youngest Smiles with Children's Dentistry

The wonderful thing about children is that they’re carefree and easily made happy. Unfortunately, one of the things they can’t be lighthearted about is taking care of their teeth. At our office, we realize the importance of your child’s teeth, and we are ready and able to start your child off in the right direction. Dr. Montgomery understand that a dentist’s office may not necessarily your child’s favorite place in the world, which is why our knowledgeable team is ready to welcome them with open arms and friendly smiles.

Children’s dentistry is very important because it plays a crucial role in preventing dental problems before they arise, as well as sets up your child for success in the future. Common practices in children’s dentistry are dental sealants. Because a child’s tooth is more susceptible to cavities and decay, sealants grant protection by having a plastic covering painted in the grooves of the tooth to save from harm in the future. Sealants are primarily applied to the teeth toward the back of the mouth because the grooves are deeper than the other teeth, therefore more susceptible to deterioration.

Coinciding with sealants, fluoride treatments are also involved in children’s dentistry frequently. Fluoride plays a crucial role in preventing decay as well as acting as an agent for attracting other minerals, like Calcium and Phosphate, to build strong teeth. Granted, fluoride does not prevent cavities from emerging, but it may delay their arrival, giving your child a better chance to have beautiful, healthy teeth and a glorious smile.

Use Dental Benefits Before Time Is Up!

A lot of people don’t know that you actually save money in the long run when you take advantage of your dental insurance before the year ends. Though some insurance companies operate by a fiscal year, most of them abide the calendar year, meaning as soon as it strikes midnight on December 30, your benefits are long gone.

Unlike your cell phone minutes, your dental benefits do not roll over to the next year. You work hard to earn the benefits you have, accumulating possibly hundreds of dollars only to have it wasted. When you use your benefits before the year is up, you will be able to take advantage of your deductible before it resets. Also, it gives you the ability to use up your annual maximums. One of the more important reasons to take advantage of your dental benefits before the year ends is to take care of dental issues before it gets worse. What may appear to be a simple cavity or discomfort now could turn into something a lot more serious and expensive down the road.

If you are unsure about what your dental benefits may be or when they expire, ask your employer, or use the company handbook as a reference. Either way, being able to use your dental benefits before the year ends is beneficial for your money, and, more importantly, your teeth.

Back to School Dental Checkups

Fall is fast approaching, and your children are probably headed back to school. Make sure they’re starting off the school year right with a healthy smile by bringing them in for their regular dental checkup. At All Smiles Family Dental Care, we recommend that your child comes in twice a year for their dental appointments. No matter your age, the best way to ensure a healthy smile is with regular teeth cleanings.

Dental checkups are an essential part of preventative dental care. In addition to cleaning your child’s teeth and gums, we also offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments to help protect teeth against decay and cavities. These offer an added layer of protection to the areas of the teeth that may be hard for children to reach. We’re committed to ensuring your child has a healthy smile now and in the future.

Help your child start off the new school year with a bright, healthy smile. First impressions are important, so call to schedule your child’s dental checkup appointment today. While back to school can be a hectic time of year, it is always important to make sure you take time to care for your smile.
