Dentist Near Pembroke Pines Offers Pediatric Care For Patients

    COOPER CITY, FL, November 28, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Proper oral hygiene is just as important for the little mouths of children as it is for adults. To ensure children are maintaining optimal oral health, parents should take steps now to help kids get in a routine of regular brushing and flossing. To help parents, pediatric dentists serving Pembroke Pines, Dr. May Yazji-Corey and Dr. Dora Rodriguez, are offering some helpful tips for proper oral health care for children.

"Are your kids practicing good oral hygiene habits at home? Oral health is important at every age, and the earlier you start with your children, the better equipped they will be to continue a routine of good oral health habits into adulthood," said Dr. May Yazji-Corey, a Pembroke Pines area dentist. "Cavities can be prevented with proper care, and the most important part of dental care starts at home. Combined with regular visits to office, you can avoid cavities and promote good oral health for your kids that last into adulthood."

One of the first dental tips offered by Pembroke Pines area dentist, Dr. Yazji-Corey, is to brush and floss properly every day. Brushing and flossing are two of the most obvious and effective ways to keep teeth clean and cavities at bay. When children are younger, parents can help them brush each tooth's surface to remove all food and debris. Once they are old enough, parents should encourage them to do it twice a day-morning and night-and even at school following lunch if possible.

"If you want your kids to have good oral hygiene habits, then set a good example by doing the same. When kids grow up at a young age understanding the importance of oral hygiene as a part of their daily routine, they will continue this behavior into adulthood," said Dr. Dora Rodriguez, a Pembroke Pines, FL dentist.

Besides keeping teeth clean by brushing and flossing, parents should also ensure their child is eating a diet rich in nutrients and light in sugars and starches. Sugars and starches are major causes of tooth decay, but don't have to be eliminated entirely-just in moderation. Rather than eating sugary foods and drinks several times throughout the day, eat them with a meal instead. Exposing a tooth's enamel constantly to the harmful acids found in these foods and beverages can be damaging to teeth.

Taking children to pediatric dentists serving Pembroke Pines, Dr. Yazji-Corey and Dr. Rodriguez, for regular check ups and cleanings is an essential part of preventing dental diseases and keeping teeth and gums healthy. A visit will include a thorough exam and cleaning, looking for early signs of dental problems and removing plaque from the teeth that only a dental professional can remove. As children get older and teeth grow in and develop, Dr. May Yazji-Corey and Dr. Dora Rodriguez may also refer a child to an orthodontist if they think the child would be a good candidate for braces.
