Eden Prairie Dentist Educates Patients on Proper Dental Health Care

    EDINA, MN, May 01, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At Southdale Dental Associates, Dr. Sachin Mehta, Edina family dentist, increase patients' understandings of proper dental health care at home and in-office. Dr. Mehta, dentist in Eden Prairie, informs patients that what happens at home can be equally as important to improved dental care.

Dr. Mehta finds it important to take proper care of children's teeth and inform parents that it is important for children to have their first dental visit by age one. In addition to checking for decay and an assessment of dental development, Dr. Sachin Mehta, Eden Prairie dentist, will teach parents how to clean their child's teeth daily and identify fluoride needs, as well.

"A team approach is critical. Our patients' dental therapy begins in the dental office, but it is also important that they carry it forward at home," informed Dr. Mehta cosmetic dentist in Eden Prairie. "We individually tailor our recommendations to the individual patient, including type of toothbrush, toothpaste, mouth rinses and other oral medicaments, floss type, brushing frequency and how often they need to have their teeth professionally cleaned by our office."

Evidence points to a correlation between the oral health of the primary caregiver of the child and the child themselves, so Dr. Mehta, dentist in Eden Prairie, MN, encourages parents to not only take care of their child's teeth, but to properly care for their own teeth, too. Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease and is easily prevented with proper oral health care at home and at Southdale Dental Associates.

A nice looking smile can impact a child's self-esteem during formative school years. If someone feels bad about their smile, they may hide behind clenched lips or shielding hands. Dr. Mehta, dentist in Bloomington, MN, encourages parents to bring their child to Southdale Dental Associates for routine dental cleanings and checkups to ensure the health of their smile, as well as their own. With proper dental health care beginning at home, Dr. Mehta educates his patients with important care guidelines from infants to the elderly.
