Establishing a relationship with a dentist for your child within 6 months of the first tooth eruption, or by his/her first birthday is an important step to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles. Additionally, children often have different needs than adults, making it important to find a dentist who understands children.
Proper growth and development is an important aspect of total body health. If a child loses a baby tooth early through decay or injury, other teeth could shift and cause crowding or filling of the vacant space. This can prevent permanent teeth from growing properly or cause problems with chewing and speaking.
To prevent this, space maintainers are placed to hold the spot left by the missing tooth. This could be a band or temporary crown attached to one of the adjacent teeth. Later, as the permanent tooth grows into the spot, the space maintainer is removed.

When I was a child, I had a particularly challenging experience with a dentist, leading to significant anxiety attacks whenever it was time for a dental appointment. Since becoming a patient at Floss Dental Care with Dr. Annie as my primary dentist, those fears have subsided. My visits have consistently been both pleasant and professional. The front desk staff is exceptionally kind, and my dental hygienist, Heather, approaches her cleaning procedures with a gentle touch, much like a lamb. I wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone seeking an exceptional dental experience.
Excellent staff/ team. Very professional and friendly. Great job with helping to keep my dental needs covered. Great follow up to ensure I was good. I have been going here for years along with my children. Give them a try!!!
