Houston Dentist, Behzad Nazari DDS, Emphasizes on the Importance of Dental Treatments for Children

    HOUSTON, TX, May 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Houston childrens dentist, Dr. Behzad Nazari, is emphasizing the importance of dental treatment for children. Early development of the teeth, gums and jaws interacts with oral health to create a foundation for dental wellness throughout life. With a combination of preventive and restorative treatments, children are more likely to develop healthy teeth and gums that are more resistant to oral health problems of all kinds. Orthodontic treatment, if necessary, can guide the growth of the teeth and jaws for optimization of confidence, oral functionality and overall health.

Children should receive their first dental check-ups after their teeth begin to emerge. At age seven, children should also have their orthodontic development assessed to determine whether they need braces. Throughout childhood and adolescence, young patients may benefit from numerous services offered by Houston dentist, Dr. Nazari. These include:

- Dental sealants
- Fluoride treatment
- Mouth guards
- Dental extraction
- Dental X-rays
- Emergency dental care
- Orthodontic treatment

Certain conditions, such as diabetes, and certain habits, such as thumb sucking and mouth breathing, can place children at greater risk of suffering oral health problems and improper orthodontic development. Children who have these risk factors should receive more frequent check-ups for oral health monitoring and, if necessary, preventive treatment.

Supporting optimal oral health during childhood can reduce risks of dental problems later. For example, dental sealants can prevent bacteria and acids from attacking teeth, preventing cavities and tooth infections later. Orthodontics reduce risks of tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss by minimizing the spaces in which bacteria and plaque can build up. With regular fluoride treatment, teeth develop stronger enamel and can recover more quickly from sources of damage.
