  • If you live in The Valley, visit your derby dentist for all your families oral needs

    Do you live in the Southern part of the state of Connecticut?  Do you live in the area that is known as The Valley?  If so, when was the last time you and your family visited your local derby dentist?  Has it been a while, like a few years?  Or has it been more recently, like a few weeks or months?  It is so important to visit you derby dentist to make sure that your teeth, mouth, and gums are in the best shape possible.  The last thing you or someone in your family needs is a toothache or any type of issue with your teeth, mouth, or gums.  As a parent, it is your responsibility to make sure that your children stay current with their derby dentist visits because it is essential to build good dental hygiene at an early age.  When children start going to a derby dentist when they are very young, they learn the importance of brushing every day and flossing after every meal.  A common misconception about children’s dental hygiene is if they still have all their baby teeth, why even go to the derby dentist?  Even though your children may have all of their baby teeth, learning the right and wrong way to take care of their teeth should happen at a fairly early age.  Once they realize how important it is to take care of their teeth, mouth, and gums, the practices they learned as children will be carried over to their teenage and adult years. 

    Everyone knows that many children, if not all, are fearful of the dentists’ office.  Children hear horrors stories on the playground and in the classroom about getting cavities and having to get a shot.  Although this is true, your derby dentist will do everything in his or her power to make your child comfortable if they do have a cavity.  Yes the shot of Novocain is scary but at the same time, it prevents so much more pain that would have happened if there was no shot.  Once your child understands that the shot is very quick and not that painful, they will soon get over their fears of the dentists office.  Once they have had their first cavity your child will probably never want one again.  This way you can stress the importance of good dental hygiene.  Preventing cavities and other types of dental issues is essential to the health of your children’s teeth, mouth, and gums.  Stress to your child how important it is to brush their teeth in the morning and at night before bed.  Also teach them about mouth wash and how using a children’s type of mouth wash can also help prevent cavities.  The most important thing that many children do no like to do is to floss.  If children learn how to floss properly and continue to do so, the chance of getting cavities goes down.  Once a child puts flossing into their routine they will continue this habit for the rest of their lives.

    Summary: Have your child visit your derby dentist to learn the importance of brushing and flossing.
