The American Dental Association has designated February as National Children\u2019s Dental Health Month. What better time to make sure your children\u2019s oral health is optimal? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/patient-newsletter.html\" class=\"broken_link\">Children\u2019s dentistry<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/dr-robert.html\">Long Family Dental<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydentalmidlothian.com\/\">Midlothian, TX<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/cleburne-office.html\">Cleburne, TX<\/a>, is practiced emphasizing professional care, preventive care and gentle care.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Robert Long, Dr. Chris Long and their team of dental hygienists and dental assistants are committed to helping you take care of your kids\u2019 teeth and gums. With this in mind, we recommend that children\u2019s dentistry begin at home. Have your kids watch you brush your teeth. Then, as their smiles develop, make brushing and flossing a regular family activity. There is truth in jest, so remember\u2014monkey see, monkey do!<\/p>\n<h2>Children\u2019s Dentistry at Long Family Dental<\/h2>\n<p>When your children are around three years old, that\u2019s when we need to start seeing them regularly in the office. As with our adult patients, we\u2019d like to see them every six months for dental checkups. At their first checkup, we\u2019ll count their teeth, check on their oral development including the placement of their baby teeth, possible signs of decay\u2014yes, baby teeth can have cavities\u2014and if they seem ready then we\u2019ll also clean their teeth.<\/p>\n<p>For an ounce of prevention, Drs. Long may recommend a fluoride treatment or dental sealants. Fluoride is a mineral that has been proven to strengthen teeth\u2019s enamel, the first line of defense against the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Dental sealants are an added layer of protection for your children&#8217;s permanent molars. Applied as a liquid, dental sealants harden to a solid, filling the nooks and crannies of deeply grooved back teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule an Appointment Today<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to make an appointment for your kids to see the children\u2019s dentist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydentalmidlothian.com\/\">Midlothian, TX<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/cleburne-office.html\">Cleburne, TX<\/a>, trust, then call Long Family Dental today.
