Pediatric dentistry is a dentistry specialty that covers preventive and oral health care treatments for infants and children al through their adolescence. Children also suffer from oral health problems, as a matter of fact, dental cavities is one of the most common conditions kids suffer. Developing the habit of a proper oral health in children is vital to maintain a healthy and disease-free smile. Kids need to be taught from their early ages how to take good care of their teeth and the importance it implies. What each child eats affect directly his or her oral health, where sugars and starches are the main contributor to tooth decay. Having a healthy mouth will help avoid all type of diseases, including those that are non-oral. Even though baby teeth are eventually replaced with permanent teeth, healthy baby teeth are fundamental to a child's overall health and development.


From the age of six months it is regular that babies begin the teething process and a proper oral hygiene should be established. It is important that your child visits our Woodland Hills dentist by age one to create a long-term dental hygiene plan. At age tree or four all baby teeth should be all erupted and the jaw and facial bones will begin to grow in order to make space for the permanent teeth. Around age six baby teeth begin to be replaced by permanent teeth and parents should be constantly supervising their development and cleaning along with the help of our professional dentist in Woodland Hills.
