What are the common issues of dental health in children?
Children can face several dental health issues as they grow. Common problems include cavities due to frequent exposure to sugary foods and inadequate brushing, tooth decay from prolonged bottle-feeding, especially at night, and gum disease as a result of poor dental hygiene. Early tooth loss, misalignments due to thumb-sucking, and dental emergencies from play are also frequent issues. Regular check-ups and preventive care at High Point Dental Partners help manage these risks effectively.

What does pediatric dentistry include?
Pediatric dentistry uses sealants to prevent cavities and tooth decay on a child’s back molars. This treatment works by applying a thin acrylic coating on the teeth, which hardens and prevents unwanted bacteria and plaque from harming the teeth. Additionally, fluoride applications are extremely helpful in strengthening your child’s tooth enamel and preventing decay. This treatment involves applying fluoride directly to the teeth, which strengthens the enamel and helps keep the teeth strong and healthy. It can even reverse decay.
