Dentist in Montrose
Are you looking for an excellent dental practice that also provides complete pediatric dental care? If so, you will definitely want to make an appointment to bring your child in to Montrose Dental Associates to see our expert
dentist in Montrose, Dr. Daniel J. Lyu.
It is recommended that children come in for their first dental visit when the first baby tooth erupts or when they reach one year of age - whichever occurs first. Although baby teeth are not going to last in your child’s mouth forever, they do play several important roles in your child’s oral development. For this reason, it is important to come in to see our dentist in Montrose even if your child only has his or her baby teeth. Baby teeth act as placeholders for corresponding permanent teeth. They also help your child to completely chew his or her food, as well as to develop clear speaking habits. For all of these reasons, it is important that your child’s baby teeth stay healthy and intact for as long as they are needed. Of course, following your child’s baby teeth, your child will have his or her permanent teeth in place. Periodic dental visits at our office for dental exams and teeth cleanings will go a long way toward helping to keep all of your child’s teeth healthy. We also offer fluoride treatments to strengthen your child’s tooth enamel to protect their teeth from dental cavities. We also offer dental sealants. Dental sealants are painted onto your child’s teeth, and are used to protect the flat chewing surfaces of your child’s premolars and molars. Dental sealants can greatly reduce the number of dental cavities that your child may develop on these back teeth.
For an appointment for your child to meet with our
dentist in Montrose for a gentle dental exam and dental cleaning, simply contact us today.
