Lifelong Smiles With Preventative Dental Care

At Cavitybusters Dentistry 4 Kids, we believe that preventative dental care is important for all ages. However, when kids can start these behaviors young, they have a better opportunity to make significant impacts on their smiles. Preventative care is an important part of what we do at Cavitybusters Dentistry 4 Kids.

Preventative care is multifaceted. At home, children should practice good oral hygiene habits with regular brushing and flossing. You should also make sure your child visits us twice a year. Regular checkups can help keep your child's smile bright and healthy.

At Cavitybusters Dentistry 4 Kids, we look to build lasting relationships with you and your child. We take the time to get to know you, and you and your child will feel welcome and comfortable at every visit. Call now to make an appointment for your child. Ask about our new patient specials.

For emergency care or same-day appointments, call now. We're a local, family-owned private practice, and we've been serving you in Las Vegas, NV since 2008.

Preventative Dental Care Tips

You can be part of your child's preventative care! Here are a few tips from our dentist to help parents manage their child's oral hygiene habits.

• Make sure your child brushes at least twice a day. Children should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brushing should remove food particles and plaque. You should also encourage your child to brush the surface of the tongue. This can eliminate any lingering food particles to prevent plaque and control bad breath.
• Help your child floss at least once a day. Mouthwash can also be used to minimize bad breath and kill bacteria. Sometimes, decay-causing bacteria can rest between the teeth that the toothbrush can't reach. Floss and mouthwash attack these particles and clean them beneath the gum line.
• Encourage a healthy, balanced diet for your child. Avoid extra sugary snacks. Raw vegetables, plain yogurt, cheese, and fruit can all help with a healthy smile.
• Consider dental sealants for your child. This protective plastic coating can be applied to chewing surfaces. This is often where tooth decay starts.
• Schedule regular checkups with Cavitybusters Dentistry 4 Kids. We would like to see your child every six months for cleanings and exams.
• For active children in sports, talk to us about special mouthguards. These guards can protect your child's smile in contact sports.
