Caring For Kids is
Different
Choosing Your Child’s Dentist is
Like Choosing
Their Pediatrician
The Staff at Romeoville
Dental Center understand this. Instilling good habits
early, in an environment that’s comfortable and fun, is essential
for a lifetime of good oral health.
To ensure healthy teeth, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
recommends a first visit by 12 months old. Children’s teeth can be
very susceptible to cavities at a young age due to many factors:
• Children are not able to brush well on their own.
Because of this, it is important for parents to be involved in their
child’s daily dental care. This ensures both thorough cleaning as
well as the development of proper dental habits.
• Little kids tend to eat more often during the day (grazing). This
results in a prolonged exposure to acid (every time you eat you make
acid), which may cause more cavities.
A tooth that is not as clean as it should be will be exposed to acid when food and juice contact it. This acid often speeds up the development of cavities. The good news is that identifying poor dietary and hygiene habits, along with applying a fluoride varnish to the mineralizing teeth, can significantly reduce the chance of your child having a cavity.

Your Child’s Dental
Health
is SO Important
Romeoville Family Dentistry
Children’s dentistry at Romeoville Dental
Center is very different from adult dentistry. Many
people had unpleasant experiences at the dentist when they were
growing up. We want to ensure that sort of thing does not happen
with our young patients. We are proud to treat our younger patients
with the understanding and compassion they need. Helping children
form healthy oral habits and making their visits to the dentist a
fun experience will be the foundation of a lifetime of dental
health.
We believe good children’s dentistry is about more than just regular
dental visits. Our job is to educate parents on good dental habits
that lead to healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
