At Sparkle Dental Care, we emphasize prevention. This includes everything from lowering cavity risks to helping children develop healthy and symmetrical smiles. A symmetrical smile is about more than aesthetics. Symmetry also promotes improved oral health.
Fortunately, through early intervention, the dentist can work to prevent orthodontic issues in the future.
About Early Intervention for Children
Early intervention for children (around age eight) may help prevent severe orthodontic issues in the long term. Through early assessments, your child's Fairfield dentist can often limit the timeframe for braces or forgo them completely.
Additionally, early assessment and monitoring allow us to correct bite issues, including overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite through careful planning and intervention. These misalignment problems, left untreated, can put undue stress on your child's teeth, leading to cavities and even premature tooth loss.
Early intervention also helps correct wide broad smiles and may decrease the need for extraction before braces in the future.
Of course, our team monitors your child's oral development carefully at every check-up, and we'll always talk to you if we have concerns. Also, we provide complimentary consultations that are more specific during regular maintenance visits!
How We Guide Your Child's Oral Development
Through therapies like expanders and space maintainers, your child's dentist in Fairfield or Hampton promotes smile functionality and aesthetics. Expanders help widen the pallet to add sufficient space for teeth. Space maintainers act as guideposts for adult teeth by showing them where to erupt on the gum.
Our early efforts help your child enjoy a problem-free smile and spend less time in braces.
