\"Shutterstock<\/a>Every year in February, the American Dental Association observes National Children’s Dental Health Month. It’s a great time for parents, teachers and dental teams to encourage awareness of early oral health practices and the importance of dental hygiene throughout the year. At <\/span>Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> in <\/span>Denton, TX<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>, <\/span>Dr. Ted Dunson<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> and his team provide comprehensive <\/span>pediatric dentistry services<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> that form the foundation of a bright and healthy future. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prevention is the Key to Success<\/b><\/p>\n

At Southridge Dental<\/b>, we often reference the well-known adage that says, \u201cAn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.\u201d <\/i>When children are young, their minds are like sponges. They’re eager to learn how things work and how to take care of themselves. This is the perfect time to teach kids how important their oral health is as well as how to maintain it properly. With regular checkups, consistent home care and preventive dentistry<\/b> services from Dr. Dunson<\/b>, kids can get a great start on this important aspect of their overall well being.<\/p>\n

In order to set the stage for lifelong oral health, Dr. Dunson <\/b>recommends bringing your child in for their first dental visit by the age of one. We also invite you to bring your kids in with you when you visit for your own checkups. Getting your little ones accustomed to the pleasant environment of our office at any early age means they’ll be comfortable coming in for years to come.<\/p>\n

Children’s dentistry<\/b><\/span> services at <\/span>Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry<\/b><\/span> include the application of protective sealants, strengthening fluoride treatments, biannual exams and cleanings, orthodontic treatment<\/a> and the prevention of oral injury with custom athletic mouth guards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smiles for the Whole Family<\/b><\/p>\n

At <\/span>Southridge Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry<\/b><\/span>, exceptional oral health care and patient satisfaction are our primary objectives. <\/span>Contact our office<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> in <\/span>Denton, TX<\/b><\/span> today to schedule your child’s appointment and see what a difference our commitment to excellence can really make.
