At what age should my child start seeing a dentist?
It is important for your child to have a positive experience at the dentist so that they feel comfortable and avoid developing dental anxiety. We encourage you to begin your child’s oral health care at home as an infant, and schedule their first dental appointment around age three, unless you have a dental concern or notice a potential problem. Our dental professionals have very gentle approaches and aim to make sure your child has a terrific experience. If your child experiences a dental emergency, our office will accommodate their needs no matter their age.
Is gum disease a serious health problem?
Gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss in American adults and a very serious health concern. Gum disease can not only detrimentally affect your oral health, but can also negatively impact your overall health. Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, joint problems, strokes, premature births in pregnant women, and can increase diabetic complications. Dr. Mitschke can evaluate your gums for infection through periodontal screenings, and can treat your gums with non-surgical periodontal therapy if there is evidence of gum disease.
