Kids in Livonia and the Motor City will soon be out of school and ready for their summer break. Vacation is a great time to be sure children of all ages are visiting Dr. Jim DeCapite on a regular basis. At DeCapite Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we realize that many children (and a lot of adults) are intimidated by the thought of visiting the dentist. The earlier children get to know their dentist and realize the many benefits of seeing the dentist regularly, the more comfortable they will be with their visits and checkups.
Dr. Jim DeCapite wants every child in the greater Detroit area to get excited about the seven important reasons to see the dentist regularly, starting this summer:
- Protection for summer sports: Kids who play summer sports need to protect their teeth! A mouthguard, properly fitted by a dentist, will help keep their teeth and face safe.
- Alignment check: When baby teeth fall out and adult teeth come in, it’s important to make sure all the teeth are lining up correctly.
- Cavity prevention: A child who goes to the dentist regularly is checked for signs of potential cavities and other dental issues by our professional staff.
- Regular Checkups: When cavities do happen, it’s important to catch them early. A regular dental visit will keep small cavities from becoming larger ones, particularly as young children dip into the sugary treats over the summer months!
- Brushing skills check: Jim DeCapite and his professional dental team teach kids (and adults) how to brush and floss properly, for skills that will benefit their dental health throughout their lives.
- Grinding protection: As children grow older, their bodies change and they may experience more stress, leading to grinding of their teeth. During a regular dental visit, the dentist can detect and help prevent damage from grinding.
- Dental cleaning: Even when children are doing a good job of brushing and flossing, they still need to see the dentist regularly for a thorough dental cleaning. This applies to adults too!
