An Early Start Paves the Way to Healthy Teeth

Children and even infants are vulnerable to oral health problems. What your child eats greatly impacts his/her oral health. Dentists believe that good oral health practices should begin in infancy and continue throughout the adult life.

Although milk teeth (deciduous or primary teeth) fall off and are eventually replaced with permanent teeth, healthy baby teeth form the foundation of your child’s child's overall dental health.

An early start can go a long way in maintaining disease-free teeth and gums. We suggest that your child should see a dentist by the age of one year. Regular professional care can ensure that your child grows up cavity free.

At United Dental Care, we believe in providing this care to your children in their early years. Dr.Eftekhari has over eight years specializing in pediatric dentistry. He has treated over Eight Thousand happy pediatric patient treatments.

Our Facilities for Children

At United Dental Care, we firmly believe that your child’s first visit should be pleasant and comfortable. This helps builds trust and puts the child at ease during future dental visits

We have several facilities for our children to make their visit to the office a pleasant one. Some of our facilities are as listed below:

Tell-Show-Do Approach

The tell-show-do approach involves first explaining to the child what will be done, then demonstrating the procedure on a finger, and later actually performing the procedure. Dr. Eftekhari and our team of assistants patiently explain the procedure to be conducted using simple terminology. We encourage children to ask questions.

Positive Reinforcement

This technique rewards the child who displays any behavior which is desirable. Rewards include compliments, praise, and a pat on the back, a hug or a prize.
We urge you not to wait until your child has a problem before you make a dental appointment. By giving your child an early start, we can minimize your child’s dental problems. At the same time, introducing your child to dentistry at a stage when little or no work is needed; they develop a positive attitude about dentistry.

So call us or visit us to schedule an appointment and give your child a gift of healthy teeth.
