Your children deserve the best in children's dental care in Southern California. The caring dental team at Downey Dental Arts is very experienced in working with children and teens of all ages, helping them achieve amazing, healthy smiles. Our comprehensive, foundational approach to children's dentistry means your kids will be put on a path of good dental health for a lifetime.
Having your child see a children's dentist is critical not just for their oral health but also their overall health and well-being. Children's dentists have special training and experience in helping children and teens with their specific dental issues. Young children have growing teeth that need special care and attention. Our friendly staff at Downey Dental Arts can help your child feel at ease.
Don’t wait to bring your kids to the dentist. Even babies need to have their teeth checked. The best age to bring your child to the dentist for the first time is approximately 6-months-old. You should also make sure to bring your child to Downey Dental Arts around the age of 7 for their first orthodontist appointment.
Establishing good dental habits early on creates a foundation for lifelong oral health. Whether your child has any cavities or not, it’s a good idea to bring them to the children's dentist in Downey to get them used to visiting the dentist regularly. This also helps alleviate their fear as they get used to sitting in the dentist’s chair. Other benefits include:
Every child needs to see a children's dentist at least twice per year for a routine dental exam and teeth cleaning. Of course, if braces are being utilized, we will set up a schedule of regular appointments to check on your child’s progress.
Braces aren’t something that kids can wear until their permanent teeth come in after age 7. However, they may need some preparation prior to this, so be sure to have your kids seen by your dentist in Downey early on. Once a child is about 8-years-old, they become a candidate for braces after the permanent teeth erupt. Braces often work best when used with younger children as their teeth and jaw are growing in, but older children and teenagers also get fantastic results with braces. It’s actually never too late to get braces!
If you have dental insurance, many of your children's dental appointments will be covered wholly or in part. Many dental plans include twice-yearly checkups and cleanings for kids. If you do not have dental insurance, we offer affordable financing plans. Our front desk staff can help you if you have any questions about the cost of children's dental care in Downey.
