Pediatric Dentist in Toledo, OH

Receiving proper dental care is of vital importance throughout our lives. Choosing a pediatric dentist for your children begins when they are still infants. Even young children can suffer from a lack of good oral hygiene. Sadly, Early Childhood Caries is an infectious disease that is becoming more and more common in young children. This condition presents itself when a child has one or more missing, decayed, or filled tooth surfaces in a primary tooth before a child is even old enough to attend school. A leading cause of this infectious disease is bacteria that form from a child drinking from a baby bottle. A parent needs to schedule an appointment with their child’s pediatric dentist within the first six months of the eruption of the child’s first tooth. This preventative step will aid in your child’s oral hygiene and development as well as greatly reduce the risk of developing early childhood caries syndrome. Your family’s pediatric dentist will be able to provide you with valuable oral hygiene education that will bring lasting benefits to the whole family.

Dr. Nadeem Khan of Great Smiles Family Dentistry and his team specialize in a variety of treatments that are specifically related to a child’s oral hygiene and development. Comprehensive pediatric dental care includes oral health exams and education regarding oral hygiene from the time your baby’s first tooth appears. They can provide you with counseling regarding habits a child might develop that can hurt proper oral development. Preventative oral well-being visits would include cleanings, possible fluoride treatments if necessary, and diagnosis of any oral conditions that can be related to other serious health problems or diseases. Our team will be able to make early assessments and recommendations regarding your child’s teeth and possible orthodontics needs. Treatments also include repairs for cavities, defects in the teeth, or even tooth injury.
