Pediatric Dental Care is Still Vital
Darren Levitt
As the pandemic wears on, we’re all doing our best to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. Of course, that means taking the proper social distancing precautions and wearing a mask when outside the home. It means staying on top of routine wellness checks and getting your annual flu vaccination. And of course, it means maintaining robust dental hygiene… for you and for your little ones.
To that end, we’ll note that Merge is the proud home to Little Star Pediatric Dentistry, which continues to offer exemplary care to kiddos from throughout the area. Indeed, the good Dr. Hannanvash is a world-renowned expert in fixing tongue ties. No matter your family’s pediatric dentistry needs, our friends at Little Star Pediatric can help.
Why Take Your Child to a Pediatric Dentist?
There are several reasons why parents might prioritize dental care for their little ones… yes, even during a pandemic. Some of those reasons include:
Pediatric dental professionals know how to keep kids calm. Let’s face it: The dentist’s office can be traumatic for adults, so it stands to reason that little ones might find them frightening. Pediatric dental professionals are trained to provide calming environments where kids (and their parents) can de-stress.
Pediatric dentists are trained in addressing kids’ dental needs. There are a lot of dental health concerns that are unique to kids, like over-retained baby teeth. Dentists like those at Little Star can help treat tongue ties, as well. And of course, there are also more universal concerns, such as tooth decay. Pediatric dentists can address all this and more.
Pediatric dentists can consult with you about your child’s worrisome habits. Do you have a child who nibbles their fingers, or who’s still sucking their thumb far past toddlerhood? A good pediatric dentist can talk with you about strategies to break these bad habits.
Pediatric dentists have the right tools. Also, note that pediatric dental offices have kid-sized tools… and those tools go a long way toward making the visit more comfortable and less scary for your child.
