Pediatric Dentistry in Wenatchee, WA

Safe and Gentle Pediatric Dentistry

Your family dentist in Wenatchee, WA recommends that brushing begins as early as six months, (or as soon as your child’s first tooth appears) and that they should see a dentist before their first birthday. That may sound young, but it’s never too early to start thinking about your child’s oral health. More than 40% of kindergarten-age children suffer from tooth decay. It’s even more common than asthma or hay fever. In fact, despite being largely preventable, tooth decay is one of the most widespread chronic childhood diseases in America and is the number 1 cause for missed time from school.

Healthy primary teeth or baby teeth is vital for proper chewing and establishing proper alignment of the adult teeth coming in correctly. Early loss of primary/baby teeth due to decay and infection will compromise your child’s bite, alignment, and formation of their adult teeth. In addition, it is never too early to have your child get familiar and comfortable visiting our family dentistry in Wenatchee, WA.
