Consulting the Pediatric Dentist Cleveland

It is important that the parent take their children to the pediatric dentist regularly for dental check up.

Cleveland, OH (prHWY.com) March 22, 2013 - It is important that pregnant women should visit or consult the Pediatric Dentist Cleveland regularly. The dentist encourages fluoride supplements for pregnant women during pregnancy and prescribes for all her children, both those under his care and for the younger children that are not yet old enough to visit the office. As one knows, the major part of the quality of the tooth enamel for all the permanent teeth, other than the wisdom teeth, is determined before the child is three years old. A survey by the American Dental Association found that American dentists, by a ratio of almost 2 to 1, thought that fluoride supplement should begin in pregnancy rather than wait until birth.

Therefore, it should not be too difficult to find a dentist who is interested in true prevention. And sees to it that one build the proper amount of fluoride into the children's teeth rather than waiting until those teeth start to decay and then selling patient fluoride treatments and plastic coatings for these defective teeth. One would not go to a bone doctor who advised against calcium and then sells leg braces for the children. Nor would the patient use an eye doctor who withheld vitamin A in pregnancy and then sells customers glasses for their child. Of course not! Likewise, there is no need to pay a dentist to mistreat the children and mother.

The pediatric dentist Cleveland will monitor the development of the children's teeth and will take the time and trouble in order to do small procedures as these teeth come in, in order to make sure that they are as straight as possible. The quality dentist does not let the teeth become a jumbled mess and then refer patients (women) to an orthodontist when the child is twelve years old in order to spend a lot of money and time to straighten them out. The quality dentist will see that the child has a panoramic x-ray--this is the type of x-ray where one film goes around the mouth and shows all the teeth. This should be done between age 3 to 5 years as it is the only way to see whether there are missing and extra teeth that are going to affect the way the permanent teeth are going to come into the mouth. If the dentist does not have one of these x-ray machines, he can arrange for patient to have this done at an oral surgeon s office. The pediatric dentist will also file or shave off the side edges of the adjacent baby tooth in the front of the mouth as the permanent teeth come in if there is not sufficient room.
