\"469174173\"<\/a>Is there anything better than seeing those little faces smile up at you? Well, yes actually\u2014knowing that those smiles are healthy, too. After all, dentistry isn\u2019t just for adults. Kids need good oral healthcare, as well. Dr. Ashley Decker and Dr. Garrett Mulkey have made children\u2019s dentistry<\/a> an integral part of their practice at Cosmetic & Family Dentistry<\/a> in Weatherford, TX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When should you begin to care for your child\u2019s teeth? The day that first little tooth erupts through the gum. We recommend brushing with a small, soft bristle toothbrush. There\u2019s no need to use toothpaste; a little warm water will do.<\/p>\n

As your child grows, his or her smile will grow, too. To keep that adorable smile healthy, our dentists would like to see your child twice each year for checkups. Just like you, your child needs regular teeth cleanings, assessments of their gum health and their bite, as well as examination for tooth decay. Yes, baby teeth can get cavities and it\u2019s necessary to treat decay with proper fillings, because those baby teeth are important placeholders for permanent teeth.<\/p>\n

Special Treatments in Children\u2019s Dentistry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once your child\u2019s permanent teeth are in, our dentists will likely want to use fluoride treatments and dental sealants for added protection against cavities. Fluoride has been proven to strengthen teeth\u2019s enamel, the first line of defense against decay-causing bacteria. Dental sealants are a thin plastic coating that is applied as a liquid to your child\u2019s deeply grooved and pitted molars. Once hardened, sealants form a protective barrier against decay.<\/p>\n

In addition, Dr. Decker and Dr. Mulkey are especially interested in treating children who may not have room for their erupting permanent teeth, and we can work with children at an early age to address problems like sleep apnea, snoring, breathing difficulties, and teeth grinding. We also offer orthodontic treatment, making Cosmetic & Family Dentistry a one-stop shop for all of your children\u2019s dental needs.<\/p>\n
