Pediatric dentistry involves monitoring the oral health of a child from infancy to adolescence. It is recommended that children should visit the dentist biannually, starting from the age of twelve months to maintain balanced oral health.
In pediatric dental care, Dr. Felahy will:
From the age of one, children should be taken to the dentist at least twice a year. It is absolutely necessary as the child would be developing baby teeth, approximately six months from birth. Hence, monitoring the growth of the teeth and checking for any signs of cavities or gum-related infections is very important. Moreover, tiny, unnoticed cavities can rapidly turn into severe ones and end up causing childhood periodontal disease.
Therefore, regular consultations with Dr. Felahy can help maintain a meticulous record of the child's oral health. This would make it easier for him to treat any sudden changes in the child's oral health, or prevent them even before they arise. Parents shouldn't neglect regular oral visits even if the child seems to have healthy teeth. Oral problems can arise pretty rapidly. Habits such as thumb sucking can cause misalignment of teeth, and changes in the diet plan could cause cavities.
