Your Child and Braces

Our children’s dentist in South Pasadena offers braces for children with misalignment…

At South Pasadena Dental Group we can provide your child with all of their dental care needs, including orthodontics. We offer metal braces or clear braces for teens who have misaligned teeth, which can cause problems for everyday tasks like chewing, talking and biting. We recommend your child be examined for orthodontic care around the age of 7. Unfortunately children can develop bad habits at a young age that contribute to their alignment. Some of those include: thumb or finger sucking, mouth breathing, poor nutrition or diet, using a pacifier too long and of course not brushing and flossing properly. However, our team can help your child get the care they need.

The First Visit Is Always the Most Important

Our children’s dentist in South Pasadena suggests bringing your child in early for care…

One of the best things you can do concerning your child and their dental care is to bring them in at the first signs of forming teeth, which is around the age of 1. There are several benefits to bringing your child to our office this early, which is why it is highly recommended. First, an early visit can help pave the way for dental visits down the road, making it easy for your child to receive treatment. When a child receives dental care for the first time at a later age, they are more likely to experience apprehension or fear when visiting. If you start your child out at the dentist before they have a chance to create worry or fear, treatments are more likely to go smoother, and your child will enjoy the dentist. Second, early oral health care can be very helpful when it comes to how your children’s teeth will develop overtime. Unfortunately, many children have tooth decay and neglected oral hygiene because adults know their first teeth will be replaced. Even though a second set of teeth come in, the first set makes the path for the later. Not only that, but they also create the environment for the adult, or primary, teeth. Our children’s dentist in South Pasadena recommends visits at an early age, because undetected oral health problems can affect primary teeth later on. We are ready and waiting to educate your child about oral health, and get them excited about taking care of their smile.
