Well, your parents used to tell you stories about those tooth fairies who keep money or gifts or chocolates under your pillow when they took away your teeth. These stories have been around for quite a while but exchanging the gifts for the teeth isn’t any easy job, right. The tooth fairy too has some pieces of advice for parents. The tooth fairy has taken the time out of her busy schedule to address some common questions she gets about the baby teeth. The following are some of the questions that people ask the Sandy Kids dentist and the tooth fairy is here to answer it all.
Does my daughter needs a dental X-ray?
Dental X-rays give us the perfect picture of your child’s dental structure. If your child is complaining about some tooth pain or some discomfort, you might need to get a dental X-ray. The X-ray will allow the Sandy child's dentist to see what is invisible to the naked eye. And, dental X-rays are complete safe.
Do I need to break my boy’s pacifier habit?
Mothers do need pacifiers to pacify the kids and these pacifiers are good but only up to a certain age. As a responsible mother, you should break the habit of pacifier at the right time before the pacifier starts intruding in the dental development of the child. This habit would be a problem if the problem continues past the age of four.
Does a kiddo needs filling if he or she catches cavities?
Children love sweets and cavities are quite common in children. And if the baby teeth have caught cavities, they can impact the permanent teeth as well. Never leave your cavities as it is and talk to your Trousdale dentist and get it treated before it is too late. The neglected cavities in the mouth can lead to painful cavities and even gum diseases in the mouth of the child.
Are sealants any good for children?
For children, we always suggest regular brushing and flossing but sealants do play a very good role in supporting the teeth. Sealants are thin and protective coating applied to teeth so that additional protection is added to the teeth. If you are giving preference to preventing the cavities in the mouth, you can do anything to get rid of those. You can easily get those sealants done. They aren’t so harmful for kids.
We believe that these were some of the important concerns that we catered to. If you have further doubts, you can discuss the same with our Troutdale dentist. We will cater to your queries either a virtual or in-person consultation.
