February - National Children’s Dental Health Month!

Published February 22 2012 by Amber Francis | Topic:

Here at the office of Dr. Kimberly Pitts, we know that developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

 

Dr.  Pitts recommends children to visit us with their parents at about age three.

 

Wondering how to start your young child’s dental experiences?  Dr. Pitts suggests you start by bringing your child along with you for a hygiene appointment.  At this appointment, we can give a tour of our office to your son/daughter and allow them to ask any questions they may have.

 

Should your child need any restorative work, Dr. Pitts and her staff make it fun for kids!  We explain what we’ll be doing on a level they can easily understand.   We also let them touch our filling material, suction, and feel the air and water that comes out of our dental handpiece.  We feel that doing these things makes your child feel safe and secure in our office.
