The Importance of The Best Dental Care for
Your Children

Children's teeth are prone to cavities in their formative years. This is due to a variety of reasons. Often they do not brush as well as needed. We encourage parents to oversee their brushing and flossing until they learn to do so properly. Kids often eat throughout the day, exposing their teeth to acid more often. Every time food or drink is consumed, acid is produced in the mouth to start the digestive process.

If teeth are already not as clean as they need to be, additional acid will affect the rapid development of decay. But with better food and drink choices, better daily care, and a fluoride varnish applied to the surfaces of teeth, cavity development can significantly be reduced.

An Easy Way to Fight Cavities

Children's teeth are more susceptible to decay than adults. They don't do the best job brushing and eat more often, which increases acid in the mouth. But there is a way to help to keep this from happening. One quick and easy treatment with a dental sealant is excellent prevention.

This is the whole procedure:

• All the teeth are first cleaned and then sterilized.
• A thin coating of the sealant is applied to all surfaces of the teeth. It is clear and not visible.
• With a curing light, the dentist bonds the sealant to the teeth.
• And the procedure is done! No shots, drilling, or tooth removal is necessary!

We highly recommend having this treatment for your children and adolescents, as it has been proven very effective in the fight against cavities.

Protect Your Health and Dental Future

Stem cell research and its potential to cure life-threatening diseases is often in the news. These cells are vital in the regenerative process of the body, as they can heal bones, skin, muscles, and other tissues.

Findings from the latest research hold promise in helping a wide variety of maladies, including: brain injuries, heart disease, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, leukemia, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, gum disease, sports injuries, and aging.

Can your stem cells be stored, as you might need them later in life to regenerate good health from disease? Yes, they can! As it has been discovered, teeth contain stem cells. Extracted teeth and children's primary teeth can be stored and preserved for future medical needs.
