Dental Care for Children Ages Two to Six
Children should be taught to brush their own teeth around ages two or three. Parents can help their children establish daily tooth brushing routines by brushing at regular times each day. Because new brushers are not always thorough, parents should ensure no areas are missed.
Around age three, your child is ready for his or her first visit to the Dublin Metro Dental. Dr. Sadineni will gently examine the child’s teeth and gums. She also may take digital X-rays to be certain that your child’s teeth are growing properly.
Thumb-sucking should be discouraged if it continues past age four. This habit can cause crooked teeth and malformation in the roof of the mouth. Thumb-sucking affects speech and the position of the jaw as the child grows.Dental Care for Children Between Seven and Twelve.

Now is the time to prepare for any orthodontic treatment your child requires. Timing is very important in this process.
Dr. Sadineni can determine if orthodontic care is required and help you to choose a financing option that will bring a smile to you and your child.
Dental Care for Adolescents
Teens often lose motivation to brush, resulting in gum disease and other dental problems. For this reason, it is especially important that regular dental checkups be scheduled.
