Hello, Super Parents!
At Sumner Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that promoting dental health is not just about treating the teeth but educating our community! Today, we're excited to bust some common dental myths that could impact the health of your little ones. Armed with the right knowledge, you can make informed decisions for your child’s oral health.
Common Children’s Dental Myths
Myth 1: Baby Teeth Are Not Important
False! Baby teeth are crucial. They serve as placeholders for permanent teeth, aid in proper chewing, and speaking, and contribute to a child's self-esteem. Neglecting baby teeth can lead to future dental problems. A strong foundation of oral health early on ensures a brighter, healthier future—an integral part of our mission here at Sumner Pediatric Dentistry.
Myth 2: Only Sugar Causes Tooth Decay
While sugar is a well-known culprit for tooth decay, it isn't the only one! Foods that stick to teeth, such as chips and bread, can be just as harmful. Regular brushing and flossing can help fend off cavities, and our fun, child-friendly office staff can make these habits feel less like chores!
Myth 3: Cavities Alone Are Cause For Dentist Visits
Preventive care is essential! Regular dental check-ups mean long-lasting oral health. Dr. Andy Reed and our passionate team ensure that every visit—and prevention advice—is as enjoyable as possible for your child. We're all about creating vibrant and comforting experiences to foster trust and ease any fears.
How We’re Making a Difference:
