Children’s Dentistry

Although regular dentists may treat children of all ages, you may want to look into children's dentistry to ensure that your child gets the required treatment whenever they need it. Sedation dentistry is used to treat children from infancy to puberty. At Monarch Dentistry in Cambridge, we make a concerted effort not just to provide your children with high-quality dental care, but also to foster a positive relationship with them so that they will return as they grow older.

Primary Teeth

The earliest teeth, sometimes known as "baby" teeth, appear between six and twelve months of age. It is recommended that children get their first dental visit no later than six months after their first tooth emerges, or by the time they become one year old. A child's baby teeth do not appear until about the age of three. Twenty primary teeth will develop over a child's lifespan starting around the age of six, they will begin to fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth.

Good Oral Habits

First, make sure your youngster can brush their teeth without accidently ingesting toothpaste. This may be performed by observing their brushing. Fluoride should not be used in children unless their dentist expressly recommends it. To maintain optimum dental health, schedule a cleaning and exam with your dentist every six months. When your kid engages in sports, they should wear a sports guard. If you need high-quality dental treatment for your children, Monarch Dentistry in Cambridge is the place to go.
