We believe in the importance of making our younger patients feel happy and comfortable during their dental visits. Our dental office will provide the best experience for their first visit.
Taking a child to the dentist can be a trying experience for both the child and the parent. Starting your child’s dental office visits at an early age is not only best for their oral health; it also prevents the stress that can come from a dentist visit being a sudden and new experience in later years. Dr. Aman in Leesburg is a family dentist who treats patients of all ages, and he possesses the professional and personal skills to make even the youngest patients feel comfortable and confident.
Taking your child to the dentist shortly after his or her first tooth erupts can prevent problems that can occur even while the child has baby teeth. Even though these teeth will eventually fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth, the gums we are born with are the gums we have all our lives. Children who start seeing a dentist regularly at an early age are more likely to practice good oral hygiene and have regular dental checkups for the rest of their lives, which will keep the gums healthy and in turn, keep the teeth healthy.
“I was so nervous about taking my daughter to the dentist, but Dr. Aman made the whole experience enjoyable for us both. As a single parent, I’m protective of my daughter. Leesburg Premier Dental was the perfect choice for her dental care!”
– Deena, Woodburn, VA
Deena’s daughter hadn’t yet been to the dentist, and Deena was worried about how her one-year-old would handle the visit. “She was so young, I thought she’d be scared. Turned out, it was the opposite!”
Deena’s daughter was excited to come in and see us at Leesburg Premier Dental and received an exam with Dr. Aman. “She did so well. Dr. Aman did a great job of helping me to stay calm too!” Although she only had a few teeth in, Dr. Aman was able to ensure they were decay-free and developing normally.
Dr. Aman was also able to provide Deena with additional guidance for caring for her daughter’s teeth at home. “I’m so happy everything went well. Now that my daughter is familiar with the practice, I’m actually looking forward to bringing her in for next checkup!”
The recommended age to take your child to the dentist for the first time is within six months of the eruption of the first tooth, or by the age of one year. Early dental visits for children are educational for parents. Dr. Aman can explain how parents can help care for their young child’s teeth and how to eventually teach the child how to care for his or her own teeth. He can also explain the process of tooth development and what the parents can expect.
Good oral health for children is best accomplished when the dentist and the parents work together to get the child into the habit of practicing good oral hygiene. If you are looking for a dentist for children in Leesburg, you can call Dr. Aman’s office to set up an appointment for you and your child.
