Children and Their Teeth

Do you ever wonder what you might be able to do to help your little ones enjoy healthy, strong teeth? Do you ever wonder how important it actually is to help your children maintain strong teeth? Your little ones’ primary teeth will help guide their adult teeth into proper position. It is important for you to help your kids learn to care for their teeth while they’re young.

You see, primary teeth—or your children’s first set of teeth—play an important role in the proper alignment of their permanent teeth. It is incredibly important to care for them well. Similarly, if you help your children keep their primary teeth healthy, their permanent teeth should follow suit. You see, most individuals who are taught to care from their teeth well tend to maintain those practices as they age.

Sadly, many dentists have noticed signs of increased sugar consumption in children. You should consider limiting the amount of sugar your little ones have in their diet. We also recommend visiting our dentist once every six months. This appointment affords our team the opportunity to inspect the state of your children’s teeth.

If you’re interested in learning more about how you can care for your children’s teeth, we invite you to contact Copper Cove Pediatric Dentistry at 801-446-2080. Dr. Troy Hardy and our team will be happy to offer you any advice you need. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
