The concept of a dental home refers to the unique relationship developed between a patient and their dentist. This term is used to describe a dental office where a child goes for regular, ongoing dental care as they grow.
At The Little Royals, we strive to be a comforting dental home for your children, from infancy through young adulthood. We want to empower your children to form positive oral hygiene habits and understand the importance of caring for their teeth. With our preventive and comprehensive dental services, we look after your child’s smile with thorough, accurate care.
Finding a dental home has a variety of benefits for kids. Seeing the same dentist every six months ensures that we get to know your child’s oral health so we can pick up on even the most subtle changes or issues. A dental home also makes your child feel more comfortable about visiting the dentist, which prevents them from developing dental anxiety later in life. It is estimated that dental anxiety or phobia keeps about 20% of Americans from seeing a dentist, even when they know they need treatment.
Bringing your child to The Little Royals regularly is the best way to get the preventive care they need to maintain a healthy smile for life. During routine visits, we discuss common parent concerns such as thumb sucking, diet, teeth cleaning, and more. We always take the time to make sure you are well-informed about your child’s dental health.
Anticipatory guidance refers to the information and advice we give to parents to help them understand the health and development of their child. These conversations help you understand what to expect throughout your child’s oral development, but we also provide guidance on diet and hygiene habits to keep your child’s oral and overall health optimal. Have questions about your child’s oral health? We’re just a phone call away. Reach us at (561) 510-1450.
