Why Your Child Should Visit an Orthodontist

February 4, 2015 by admin 3 Comments

Each February, the American Dental Association sponsors National Children’s Dental Month to promote the benefits of great oral health. While most people understand the importance of a healthy smile, few people know just how big of a role orthodontic care plays children’s overall oral health.

Children's Orthodontics

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have a check-up with a licensed orthodontist around the age of seven. Many initial crowding, crossbite, and jaw discrepancies begin to surface at that time. Early treatment could allow your orthodontist to guide jaw growth, help lower the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth, detect and correct harmful oral habits, improve your child’s bite, and improve the appearance of your child’s smile. Many times, early treatment may prevent more serious issues from developing, make treatment later on shorter and less complicated, or help your child avoid further treatment altogether.

Whether or not the initial assessment reveals any issues, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you are doing everything you can to help your child develop a healthy, beautiful smile.

    You can have a beautiful smile, no matter how old you are, if you are relatively healthy. We do not consider “AGE” as a contraindication to dental implant therapy. Did you know that it is estimated that over 170 million people across the USA have one or more missing teeth? Approximately 23 million people in the USA are completely without teeth at all. With the right specialists, technology, and lab support, we are able to treat some of the most complex of teeth replacement cases, in most cases, within a single day!
