Because of this, we recommend that you decrease the amount of bacterial transmission by refraining from sharing straws, cups, forks, etc. with your infant. Avoid putting your child to bed with a bottle or a sippy cup of milk. Letting milk or juice sit on the teeth throughout the night dramatically increases your child's risk for developing early childhood caries. If your child must drink something during the night, water is the best choice. The use of a bottle should be stopped by 12 months of age. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617912849206-Z9Q3DBOA8XY8P7FKTNOH/healthy+dental+habits+for+children Dental Health Sucking habits such as finger or pacifier sucking are normal for infants and young children. Sucking is a natural instinct for infants and begins in the womb. Thumb or pacifier sucking can be comforting as well. Although normal for infants and young children, prolonged habits can negatively affect the growth of the teeth and the supporting bone. It is recommended that the use of a pacifier should be stopped by the age of two years. We can discuss methods that can motivate an older child to stop their habit, including methods utilizing appliance therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617913274476-UAJXWRVY5WNNBLNQRZ2P/teething+baby Dental Health Teething can begin when your child is only a few months old and will continue periodically until all 20 baby teeth have erupted around the age of three. Gums can become swollen and sore during this time. Avoid the use of over-the-counter topical anesthetics or teething gels due to their potential toxicity to infants. Instead, let the child "gum" on chilled teething rings or cold/frozen cloths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617913445374-W7GRKD105UTFZIGK38AI/pediatric+tooth+brushing Dental Health Prior to the eruption of your child's first tooth, gently clean his or her gums after bottle or breastfeeding with a soft, wet washcloth. Continue in this fashion until the first tooth actually erupts. After the eruption of the first tooth, brush the new tooth/teeth with a soft, infant-sized toothbrush two times a day. Use a very small amount of fluoridated toothpaste for children under two years of age (the American Association of Pediatric Dentists [AAPD] recommends a rice-sized amount) as it is impossible to keep infants from swallowing the toothpaste. If your baby is uncooperative with this process, which is to be expected, laying the child on their back on either the floor or the bed may help. The AAPD recommends a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste for children from two-to-five years of age. You should continue to brush your child's teeth for them until they are around the age of eight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617913623210-1I6CTDUXYTIYQ2MJ3WCJ/young+dental+patient+at+Jackson+Pediatric+Dentistry Dental Health Jackson Pediatric Dentistry hopes to become your child's dental home. Serving as such allows us to implement preventive dental health habits, which keep a child free from dental/oral disease and which continually reinforce the habits at each six-month visit. The first dental exam should be scheduled after the eruption of the child's first tooth. This visit is usually around the age of six months but no later than 12 months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617913787212-G8CE4SXX4YYW0O3YCLDY/dental+staff+at+Jackson+Pediatric+Dentistry Dental Health The best thing we can do to ensure your child a lifetime of healthy smiles is to prevent dental problems from developing in the first place. We will provide you with the information needed to take care of your child's teeth from day one, hopefully avoiding the need for restorative interventions in the future. Prevention is our main focus. https://www.cjacksondds.com/sedation-dentistry daily 0.75 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617914403254-00DNX3V7Q73WL5AA20MG/58.jpg Sedation Dentistry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617915660016-1V4HH3FYO07IVAYDMCPV/27.jpg Sedation Dentistry Oral sedation is used to decrease a child's level of anxiety as well as any discomfort associated with dental treatment. A variety of safe, time-tested sedation medications are available. Dr. Jackson or Dr. Moore will choose the most appropriate combination of medications for your child's case. The medications may cause the child to feel drowsy, and in some cases will have an amnesic effect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617915481682-9MBZUW9SI63Y6L7DVR8W/53.jpg Sedation Dentistry Nitrous oxide is a gas given to the patient through a mask that is placed on their nose. It will not cause the child to go to sleep but is used as a relaxation aid. Nitrous oxide is recognized by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry as a "safe and effective technique to reduce anxiety, produce analgesia, and enhance effective communication between a patient and healthcare provider." Nitrous oxide has a very fast onset, as well as recovery. Your child can return to school or to other regular activities after treatment. https://www.cjacksondds.com/kids-care daily 0.75 2023-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617908271386-5HST70XW658VE5860IFR/Kid%27s+Care+Banner+with+Overlay.png Kid's Care https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617906747417-Q6BPYNYPUK19AZXT38CM/Fillings+at+Jackson+Pediatric+Dentistry Kid's Care - Fillings When any decay is removed from your child's tooth, the natural shape of the tooth is restored, and the natural structure of the tooth is protected by the placement of a filling. In most instances, a tooth-colored resin composite will be the material used for the restoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617907996327-KNMCGATV88ECN10FP6UR/Jackson+Pediatric+Dentistry+patient Kid's Care - Crowns When damage, injury, or decay doesn't leave enough tooth structure to hold a filling, or when a tooth is at high risk for future cavity development, a crown is the appropriate restoration that gives your child back both form and function. Pediatric crowns are placed and permanently cemented over the remaining natural baby tooth structure. Your child's smile will look complete and feel natural to him or her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1619023048520-TYQPC3PEE8101J6Y76FN/pulp+therapy Kid's Care - Pulp Therapy Pulp therapy (also known in pediatric dentistry as a "baby root canal") addresses issues with the internal structure of the tooth, where the pulp (made up of the nerve and blood vessels) is located. Often, these issues cause discomfort or pain when eating or trying to sleep, and pulp therapy will give your child relief and will restore his or her ability to chew without trouble. The most commonly used pulp therapy is called a pulpotomy. During this treatment, the affected nerve tissue in the crown of the tooth is removed. The goal is to maintain the vitality of the baby tooth. Although used less often, a pulpectomy is done when the entire pulp of the tooth is infected. The pulp from the crown, as well as the roots, is removed. The goal of a pulpectomy is to keep the tooth in the mouth for as long as possible, avoiding or delaying extraction. In either case, after the pulp is removed, the space is filled with an inert material to maintain the structure of the tooth. Finally, a crown restores the functional shape of the tooth, recompleting your child's beautiful smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617909726749-Z9YUB31LJYBHGJCJV497/Pediatric+Tooth+Extractions+at+Jackson+Pediatric+Dentistry Kid's Care - Extractions Sometimes the best treatment for your child's long-term dental health involves a tooth extraction. A tooth extraction can serve many purposes, from removing the source of infection which could potentially harm the developing permanent tooth to making room for new "adult" teeth to come in properly. Under Dr. Jackson or Dr. Moore’s care, a tooth extraction is a gentle procedure. You and your child will be informed every step of the way so that there is no "fear of the unknown." Remember, your child eventually loses each primary tooth naturally, so he or she will have little trouble adjusting to the missing tooth. Every young smile is different. When it comes to a tooth extraction for your child, Dr. Jackson or Dr. Moore will explain the specific circumstances and goals for his or her smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617909863815-WNAFDY0WQSQOLPAU78RL/48.jpg Kid's Care - Space Maintenance Space maintainers are metal appliances custom fit for your child's mouth. When baby teeth are lost too soon due to trauma or decay, the other teeth around that area will start to move and fill in the space left by the missing tooth. This is called "space loss." If the teeth are not prevented from shifting, there will not be adequate space for the eruption of the permanent tooth. This often leads to the need for extensive orthodontic treatment. The goal of space maintenance is to hold open that space providing a path for the natural eruption of the developing permanent tooth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1617910127054-4XY7UWQ80YJ10K4QJCNJ/dental+cleanings+at+Jackson+Pediatric+Dentistry Kid's Care - Cleanings Good home-care habits are vital to your child's oral health, and bi-yearly cleanings are essential to maintaining his or her smile. During your child's bi-yearly check-up and cleaning, Drs. Jackson or Moore will remove plaque and buildup that regular brushing and flossing can miss. She will also examine the development of your child's teeth to ensure continued dental health and will offer wise council about at-home care that you and your child can understand and implement in his or her daily routine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1619022922357-O4FQGN512H23SGCRN10J/8.jpg Kid's Care - Fluoride Although drinking water, toothpaste, and many mouthwashes contain fluoride, regular dentist-supervised fluoride treatments are vital in strengthening your child's teeth. With one of our dentists’ supervision, a fluoride varnish or foam can be applied to your child's teeth. This fluoride inhibits the loss of minerals and helps boost the re-mineralization process (strengthening of weakened areas of the tooth), making your child's teeth strong and more resistant to decay. In some cases, it is important that your child not eat or drink for a time after receiving the treatment. We will provide specific instructions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1619022943264-08UOK82OP4LJJER9CNRH/25.jpg Kid's Care - Dental Sealants A dental sealant refers to the application of a clear/white plastic material that acts as a barrier between food and the chewing surface of your child's teeth, protecting those surfaces against decay. Children often struggle to brush effectively, especially when it comes to back teeth. Throw in the fact that many children have a diet high in sugary snacks, and it's easy to see why sealant treatment can be valuable in preserving and protecting your child's teeth. https://www.cjacksondds.com/technology daily 0.75 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1618327195164-4LB5VKFWR2W488X5YYZZ/Dental+Technology+banner+with+overlay.png Technology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/cebe7f19-cef9-4489-8290-c52417f5c8e5/digital-x-rays-example.jpg Technology - X-Rays In the past, film-based radiographs (X-rays) provided dentists with the internal images they needed to ensure the health and development of your child's smile. However, these radiographs took time to develop and required a larger amount of radiation for exposure. Digital radiographs need less radiation for exposure and provide our dental team with an instant image that can be viewed by either Dr. Jackson or Dr. Moore, the parent, and the patient and then saved in our computer system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603fc93b16ed9f07f0364b89/1618328750382-V92PB8RMYMBB5E5QT79B/digital+photography+at+Jackson+Pediatric+Dentistry Technology - Digital Photography Digital photographs give Drs. Jackson and Moore instant reference images of your child's smile and facial features, which can be saved electronically in our computer system and used for future reference.
