Be Aware Of Oral Health Problems Unique To Your Children

Artistic Touch Dentistry wants you to take great care of your children’s teeth so they have minimal problems regarding their oral health. When your children have any problem regarding their teeth, it’s best to schedule an appointment with our staff.

MouthHealthy.org explains that a unique condition found in children is malocclusion, which is a condition also known as bad bite where the teeth are crowded, crooked, out of alignment, or the jaws don’t meet properly.

“This may become particularly noticeable between the ages of 6 and 12, when a child’s permanent teeth are coming in. If not treated early, a bad bite can make it difficult to keep teeth and gums clean where teeth are crooked or crowded, increasing the risk for cavities and gum disease,” the experts at MouthHealthy.org explain.

Bad bites can also:

• Affect proper development of the jaws.
• Make the protruding teeth at risk for chips and fractures.
• Affect eating and speaking.
• Make some teeth more likely to wear abnormally or faster than those that are properly aligned.

If you notice changes in your child’s teeth or oral health and have concerns then please give Artistic Touch Dentistry a call today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Maryam Brazdo.
