Santa Clara Dentist, Dr. Alan Frame, Offers Comprehensive Dental Treatments for Children

    SANTA, CLARA, CA, March 10, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The American Dental Association recommends that children begin seeing a dentist by the time they have a tooth or are a year old. Many parents wait to bring their kids for a dental checkup until they have several teeth, but the reasons for these early visits are not just to get a child used to dental care but also to help your child's teeth develop properly. Dr. Alan Frame, Santa Clara pediatric dentist, offers comprehensive dental treatments for children.

Children's Dental Care

- Routine checkups and teeth cleaning
Regular checkups monitor children's smile health to catch dental disease earlier, but dental cleanings are also included to create completely clean smiles free of any plaque or tartar buildup.

- Preventive treatments
Common preventive treatments for children include fluoride, which hardens the enamel on teeth, and dental sealants, which create a protective barrier between the tooth and bacteria.

- Dental education
Dr. Frame's team teaches kids the proper ways to brush and floss and recommends specific techniques and products.

- Restorative treatments
These can include tooth-colored dental fillings, dental crowns and other treatments or procedures to return teeth to health.

Children have unique dental needs, and Dr. Frame understands the importance of addressing these needs early and properly. Early, regular dental care can be one of the best ways to keep your child's smile healthy, and it may also help reduce the risk of dental anxiety later in life.

Most children should see the dentist twice a year just like adults. However, some kids may need more frequent checkups. Dr. Frame will discuss specific risk factors with parents so that the parents can make good choices for their children's smiles. These may include nutritional factors, tobacco use or secondary smoke exposure, poor dental hygiene and orthodontic treatment.
