Your Top Choice for Kids Dentistry in El Paso
At Pearl Dental, we'd love to meet the youngest member of your family. We know teething infants aren't always the happiest customers, but making them feel better is a big part of our job. As your pediatric dentist in El Paso, we can help see your child through the teething process. We'll make sure baby teeth are coming in correctly and that your baby is developing a happy, healthy smile. As your child grows, we can help teach them how to care for their teeth and keep an eye on their developing mouths. Plus, at Pearl Dental we're more than a pediatric dentist's office. We're a family dentist office. That means you can bring the whole family to see us, no matter what age they are or how many teeth they have.
Bringing Your Child to the Dentist
There are a lot of firsts to keep track of as your baby grows. It can be difficult to remember when to switch to solid foods for the first time or when to see an eye doctor for the first time. When it comes to a first dental visit, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends making an appointment within six months of their first baby tooth pushing through their gums.
Pearl Dental has expertise in determining early dental health. We can look out for any signs or indicators that could point to future issues, and take preventative measures when applicable. By staying on top of dental health starting in your child’s toddler years, you can prevent painful and expensive dental problems down the road. You can start them on the roading to building a positive relationship with dental hygiene and with the dentist. Plus, you’ll help them develop a smile to be proud of as they enter school.
At Pearl Dental, we know a visit to the dentist can be stressful and scary for kids. That’s why we do our best to make exams with us fun, calm, and friendly. Whether we’re doing a standard cleaning, filling a cavity, or teaching your child about caring for their teeth, we’ll take care to make sure your child doesn’t feel overwhelmed. We can also handle dental emergencies for your child. So in the event of a broken tooth or other injuries, your child can receive treatment from friendly faces they already know and trust, rather than strangers.
Dental Care For Kids At Home
We can teach your child how to take care of their own teeth. Our lessons can help your child feel pride in brushing, flossing, and practicing good oral hygiene. There are also steps you can take as a parent to help your child build healthy oral habits.
- Try flavored toothpaste and mouthwashes to make brushing more appealing.
- Consider buying fun-shaped toothbrushes your child looks forward to using.
- Add music to brushing time with musical toothbrushes or by finding a song online. Using the same song every time can help build a routine.
- Brush your teeth along with your child and make it into a fun family activity.
- Make sure your child brushes twice a day.
- Bring your child into Pearl Dental for a dental health checkup every six months.
