Boynton Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/24/2021 -- Children's Dentistry of Coral Springs has a new program just for parents in Coral Springs. Now, families can tap into infant oral health care and work with a team of experts to set up babies for a lifetime of good dental health.

Experts recommend that families bring children in for their first oral health visit by the second birthday or when the first tooth appears, whichever comes first. But for many families, infant oral health care takes a backseat to other concerns.

"We recognize that families are also addressing physical issues, such as immunizations, during the first few years with a new baby," says a representative of Children's Dentistry of Coral Springs. "But infant oral health care is so critical. The interventions we offer can mean a world of difference for a child's mouth, so we thought we should publicize our program now."

At Children's Dentistry of Coral Springs, infant oral health care programs include:

Education. Parents learn how to care for baby's new teeth.

Examination. Dentists evaluate how teeth are entering the mouth.

Recommendations. If problems are spotted, dentists outline how they might be treated when the child is older.

Evaluation. Repeat visits let the dentist check progress.

"We rarely need to perform intense interventions on our smallest patients," says the representative. "But we often catch problems that could blossom in time. For example, we might notice early signs of decay and find out that a parent is putting a baby to bed with a juice bottle. A quick conversation can stop that, and that could mean fewer cavities for baby."

Infant oral health care appointments are available now. Parents can contact Children's Dentistry of Coral Springs directly to set up an appointment.

Boynton Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/24/2021 -- Miller Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, a top pediatric dentist in Boynton Beach, FL, is proud to announce emergency care services.

As summer returns to Florida and life returns to normal after a year of COVID-related lockdowns, dentists anticipate an increased need for emergency dental care.

"Sports cause most emergency care visits," says a representative of Miller Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. "Players often look at the ball, not the ground, while they're running. Tripping means landing on your face, and teeth can crack or come out altogether."

"Ball-related sports are even more deadly to teeth," the representative says. "A direct hit to the face by a fast-moving baseball or softball almost always causes significant oral injuries."

Panicked families often take wounded children to the emergency room for care. But that isn't always wise. Going to an emergency dentist in Boynton Beach, FL, may be a better option.

"In an emergency room, you're likely to get good pain control and wound cleaning," the representative says. "But you'll miss a critical restoration window. At an emergency dentist, we can do things like replace knocked-out teeth and file chipped teeth. Acting quickly can mean the difference between keeping teeth and needing implants later."

Our Boynton Beach, FL, dentist here at Miller Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics offers emergency care and has years of experience.

"We've helped literally hundreds of children recover from really catastrophic injuries," the representative says. "Of course, we'd prefer to focus on keeping teeth healthy throughout life. Preventive care services are less invasive than fixing big problems. But we love to help a child move past a big injury and into a healthier future."

Families in need can contact the clinic at (561) 336-6560. The line is always monitored, and a team is always ready to help.

"We hope families won't hesitate to reach out in case of dental emergencies," the representative says. "We'd like to help if we can."

How routine cleanings can improve your dental health drastically.

Boynton Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2021 -- A leading Florida pediatric dentistry organization is encouraging all parents to return to pre-COVID dental schedules.

A typical child should visit a dentist once every six months for an examination. Younger children should learn how to keep their smiles bright and free of decay. Older children/teenagers need routine cleanings, and some need consults for smile-straightening solutions like braces or Invisalign.

Due to COVID-19, some parents have abandoned this schedule.

Close to 80 percent of all dental practices closed their doors to all but emergency patients in March.* Most opened back up again, but some parents remain wary of regular visits.

"We know parents are doing all they can to keep their children healthy," says Dr. Miller of Miller Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics. "We want to encourage these parents to understand that visiting the dentist really is safe. And children absolutely need pediatric dentistry. It's not optional."

During visits, dentists will conduct:

- X-ray examinations. The photographs help dentists examine the health of your child's teeth as well as their growth and development.

- Head and neck assessments. During the visit the dentist will exam the head and neck, to ensure everything is perfectly healthy.

- Tooth and gum exam. Your child's dentist will look over all the teeth as well as the soft tissues (gums) in your child's mouth and develop plans to amend any issues.

Routine cleanings are an important part of these regular visits.

"Some parents think of baby teeth as disposable, and they don't worry about decay. Unfortunately, that's inaccurate," says Dr. Miller of Miller Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics. "Cavities and infections in baby teeth can spread. Addressing the problem is critical. Even more important is learning how to prevent these problems all together."

Children may also need early orthodontic help. Treating a child's jaw during the growth period could prevent some problems from forming. For example, widening the upper jaw could allow adult teeth to grow and thrive rather than crowding together. At Miller Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, doctors can use a wide array of tools for these issues including the use of expanders, braces or Invisalign.

Miller Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics puts patient safety first. Masks and gloves are always used in patient care, and that's been true long before the pandemic hit. Treatment spaces are well ventilated to keep air moving and infectious particles away from small children. And every treatment space is thoroughly cleaned between patients.

"We know that treatment is safe in our office, and we encourage parents to take action and make appointments now," Dr. Miller says.
