When you model a good at-home regimen of brushing and flossing your teeth every day, then your children know that this is important to you and it is more likely to be something they\u2019ll want to do, too. In fact, you can make brushing teeth a family activity that you do each night before bed!<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting the Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>Sometime before their third birthdays, we want to see them at <b>Blanco Circle Dental Care<\/b>. Their first appointment will be as relaxed and pleasant as possible. We\u2019ll count their teeth and examine carefully for any signs of tooth decay, and we\u2019ll also evaluate the health of their gums. Yes, children can get gum disease. If they seem ready, we\u2019ll also clean their teeth, too.<\/p>\n<p>Many times, children need a little help in the battle against the bacteria that causes decay. To help, <b>Dr. Klugman<\/b> or <b>Dr. Bianco<\/b> may recommend <b>fluoride treatments<\/b> or <b>dental sealants<\/b>. Fluoride is a mineral that has been proven to strengthen teeth\u2019s enamel, your children\u2019s natural and first line of defense against cavities. Dental sealants are white or clear plastic coatings that are \u201cpainted\u201d on to your children\u2019s molars to create a physical barrier between teeth and bacteria.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule an Appointment Today<\/h2>\n<p>If it\u2019s time for your children to see the <b>children\u2019s dentist<\/b> Salinas depends on, then call the office of <b>Blanco Circle Dental Care<\/b>.
