Keep your child smiling with a visit to the practice of Dr. Melissa McHenry where they offer pediatric dentistry for infants, children, adolescents and special needs patients. This practice is committed to excellence and dedicated to helping their patients enjoy long-term dental success. A healthy smile at any age is a definite boost to one’s self-confidence.
Your child should brush their teeth after every meal, before bedtime and floss daily to maintain good dental health. They should also visit the dentist every 6 months for a check-up, cleaning and fluoride treatment. By starting at 12 to 18 months of age and continuing with exams at six-month intervals, the growth and development of your child’s face can be carefully monitored. In fact, your child should also begin using a fluoride-containing toothpaste, with supervision, beginning as early as 2 years of age. This increases decay-resistance.
Dr. Melissa McHenry offers complete pediatric dental care including regular check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and alternative methods of treatment including sedation and general anesthesia. She takes the time with the patient and parent to provide fear-free quality care. By focusing on preventive dental care, Dr. McHenry’s goal is to keep her patients in good dental health and maintain it for a lifetime.
