Experts advise parents to take their children to pediatric dentists regularly!
According to an article published in HealthNews, “the percentage of children suffering from various dental disorders is very high in the United States when compared to other countries around the world,” (HealthNews18.com). Sure, bad eating habits in the US is on reason for bad teeth in children, but the other is lack of interest in parents taking their kids to a pediatric dentist! For optimum oral health, it is VITAL you take your children to a pediatric dentist regularly. “Many of the dental and oral problems we see in children such as tooth decay, dental abscess, tooth loss, toothache, and bad breath could be easily prevented with periodic professional teeth cleanings,” (HealthNews18.com).
Whether or not your children have dental problems, experts suggest you take them to a pediatric dentist nearby regularly for checkups. “The preventive care visits assure your children have strong teeth in the future. Periodic dental visits help dentists to prevent any abnormal dental conditions like tooth decay, gum diseases, etc... Even the crooked or irregular teeth in children can be avoided,” said Nirupama Rao, a pediatric dentist (HealthNews18.com).
Because many parents wait to take their children to the dentist until something is wrong – the dentists are forced to use some equipment that causes “dental fear” in children, especially since they’re not familiar with the equipment, their surroundings or their dentist.
