Valencia Pediatric Dentistry

Helping Children Develop Healthy Oral Hygiene Habits for Life

At the dental office of Dr. Nilda M. Woolard, DDS, we believe setting a healthy example for children is important. What they learn in their early years sticks with them for life, and that includes oral hygiene habits. For years, our practice has provided the gentle, child-friendly dental care our patients need to develop the habits that will set them up for a lifetime of oral health success. We understand children may be fearful of the dentist, and that’s why Dr. Woolard personally takes the time to get to know all of her patients to make sure they are comfortable before we commence treatment.

The Importance of Dental Care For Young Smiles

You may be wondering why it’s necessary to care for primary (baby) teeth if they’re just going to fall out on their own, anyway. The reason why baby teeth need quality care is to prevent gum disease, tartar buildup, cavities, and more. Assessing the health of your child’s teeth early on can prevent the need for more extensive treatment in the future.

Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services in Valencia:

• Checkups and cleanings
• Cavity prevention and treatment
• Digital X-rays
• Sealants
• Fluoride treatments
• Root canal therapy

The Recommended Age For a Child's First Dental Visit

It is highly recommended that a child should have their first visit to the dentist by the age of one or within six months after their first tooth appears. This early visit allows us to examine your child's oral health, check for any potential issues, and provide guidance on proper dental care and hygiene. It is best to consult with the professionals at Nilda M. Woolard, DDS for personalized advice based on your child's specific needs.

Building a Foundation for Healthy Teeth in Children

Early dental care is vital for children because it establishes good oral hygiene habits, detects and prevents dental issues at an early stage, and helps children become comfortable with dental visits. It can prevent dental problems, reduce the risk of dental anxiety, and lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
