First Dental Home services
are designed to provide comprehensive early dental care for children aged 6-35 months. These services aim to establish a “dental home” for children, which is a continuous and accessible relationship between the dentist and the patient. The goals include:
- Preventive Care: Emphasizing the importance of early preventive measures to maintain oral health and prevent dental problems before they start.
- Early Detection: Identifying and addressing dental issues at an early stage, which can lead to more effective and less invasive treatments.
- Parent Education: Providing parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to ensure proper oral hygiene practices for their children.
- Risk Assessment: Evaluating the child’s risk for dental diseases and creating a personalized care plan.
- Fluoride Treatments: Applying fluoride to strengthen teeth and prevent decay.
- Dental Cleanings: Performing regular cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Overall, the aim is to ensure that children have a positive and healthy start to their dental care journey, laying the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health habits.
