Preventative Dentistry
Dental prevention is just as important for children as it is for adults. Having a child start going to the dentist at an early age and regularly is a very important step in a lifetime of preventative dentistry. A typical program for children contains many steps, both in and out of the dental office.
These steps include:
- 1. Brushing, flossing and oral habits.
- 2. Application of fluorides and sealants.
- 3. Monitoring the child’s dental development.
- 4. Sports safety.
- 5. Parent involvement and proper diet.
A healthy smile in a child can be maintained using preventative dentistry. Children with healthy teeth chew their food properly, and learn to talk more clearly and quickly. Preventative dentistry also minimizes future costly and extensive dental treatment for your child.
During your child’s visit to the dentist, his or her teeth will be carefully examined and any dental issues diagnosed and treated. If necessary, the dentist will apply fluoride treatment and dental sealants to help protect the teeth from tooth decay. The dentist will also address any orthodontics concerns.
Tooth cleaning, fluoride and polishing are just a few parts of an entire prevention program for children. A pediatric dentist will also provide the application of dental sealants where necessary to protect children’s teeth from decay, custom fit mouth guards to protect the teeth and mouth when playing in sports, and monitor your child’s dental development as she or he grows. A pediatric dentist is specifically trained to create a combination of home and office preventative care to make sure a child maintains a healthy, happy smile.
What Our Patients Say
“First: Dr. Ceyhan is a great dentist. I came to his practice about 5 years ago when I moved to AZ. My dental needs were pretty specific, and I'd already started a plan with my dentist in Colorado. Dr. Ceyhan called my dentist and after conferring with him and getting my records and x-rays delivered to his office, he drew up a comprehensive plan that I feel was a appropriately conservative with a great sense of urgency. I immediately trusted him, and I'm glad I did. Second: his staff is fantastic. They are always welcoming and friendly. I've always been treated like a friend, but also with amazing customer service and support. This practice is the total package, people. Get in there and get your dental work done right!”
“Great dentist! I went to his office for a second opinion on a tooth I had worked on by my regular dentist which led to me being in a lot of pain. Him and his staff were very friendly and informative with what was causing the issue. They took excellent care of me and were very detailed to make sure their work was perfect. I am now a regular patient here and I started to take my 3 year old in just to watch them do my cleanings so she will feel more comfortable about going to the dentist and they treat her as if she was their own. I would highly recommend them to everyone! You will not leave disappointed!”
“It’s always tough to find a place you feel comfortable with especially this day and age, in saying that I felt welcome as soon as I walked through the door the first time. I was greeted with smiles and very courteous and professional staff. 100% recommend.”
