It is important to begin regular visits to the dentist for a young child no later than age two-and-a-half years, or when all the baby teeth have erupted. Some pediatric dentists even feel that it's best to schedule examinations as early as 12 to 18 months, for the very vigilant parent.
It is important to begin to care for your child's teeth and gums soon after birth. After each feeding it is best to gently wipe your baby's gums with a soft, wet, cloth. Once the baby teeth begin to appear, you should clean them with a soft, child-sized toothbrush twice a day.
A child's baby teeth are very important for a variety of reasons. Of course kids need healthy and strong teeth in order to properly chew their food for nutritional sake. Speaking can and will be affected by dental problems. And it goes without saying that nice teeth are necessary to have a good-looking smile.
Baby teeth are there also, to maintain proper spacing in the jaw for the adult teeth. When a baby tooth is lost earlier than it is supposed to come out, it is possible that the teeth beside it may move in to that now empty space. When the adult teeth then come in, there may not be enough room, making the teeth crowded or crooked.
Diet does affect the health of a child's teeth. You will find that healthy eating habits lead to healthy teeth. Offering a child a variety of nutritious foods is best, including fruits and vegetables for snacks in between meals. These are best for growing teeth. Sweets such as cookies and candy, starchy foods like chips and crackers, and sticky foods like raisins and other dried fruits have been found to stay in the mouth longer, causing tooth decay.
Some parents concern themselves with their children's habit of sucking on their fingers, pacifiers or thumbs. There is no harm in a young child under the age of five or even six with a sucking habit. It is very common, and most children will give up this habit on their own by the time their adult teeth begin to come in.

Lasers have revolutionized many areas of dentistry. Firstly by making some procedures entirely or nearly pain free. Additionally, laser dentistry simplifies common procedures by reducing recovery time and time spent in the office. There are procedures that may have been unbearable to some patients that are now completely tolerable.
Laser dentist, Kourosh Maddahi, DDS, explains how a laser works: ?A laser is a device that produces a very fine, intense beam of light that renders energy. When a laser comes in contact with tissue, it causes a reaction that can remove, vaporize or shape tissue, depending on the kind of laser being used. Because the laser beam is so narrow, it allows for a precision that is just not possible with other surgical tools.?
There are several different ways Dr. Maddahi has integrated dental laser techniques into his practice that bring increased benefits to the patient. For example, in the treatment of periodontal disease, dental lasers are used on infected gums. This can reduce inflammation as well as keep the area free from returning bacteria for up to 60 days ? while reducing the discomfort of other similar treatments significantly. Infected tissue that is now vaporized will then grow back bacteria free. With laser treatment and proper patient home care, periodontal disease can be a thing of the past.
Another example of laser use is during the smile makeover process. It can sometimes be beneficial to reshape the gum line and create a new look. The use of lasers in this way has been truly effective. This procedure is not only nearly or entirely pain free, but additionally the laser closes off blood vessels and sterilizes the gums instantly, eliminating bleeding and reducing swelling and recovery time. The need for anesthesia is therefore reduced or eliminated in many instances and the results are natural looking and beautiful.
The use of lasers in tooth whitening has also been amazingly innovative. The effectiveness and speed of current whitening techniques has been increased significantly through the use of lasers. The time this advancement reduces in the whitening process makes teeth whitening that much more feasible to those with tight schedules. Patients have been found to be much happier with these natural-looking whitening results.
?It is most important to us to keep on the cutting edge of dental technology?, says Beverly Hills laser dentist, Dr. Maddahi. ?The breakthroughs with lasers in patient care continue to be astounding. By using the least invasive procedures and procedures that are more effective, the benefit to our patients is huge. Less pain, less trauma, less time to heal?everybody wins!?
