Oral Health and Hygiene Topics
At Piedmont Pediatric Dentistry we practice the full scope of dentistry for children. At each appointment, we consistently evaluate and address the following:
- Primary “Baby” Teeth Development
- Tooth Eruption Schedule
- Tooth Decay and its Prevention
- Dental Sealants
- Oral Hygiene
- Dental Erosion
- Nutritional and Dietary Habits
The Medical Necessity for Professional Oral Health Supervision as it relates to general health is imminent during these challenging times – oral tissues carry similar physiology and pathology as any other major organs – saliva, blood, nerves, inflammation, lymphatics, microbes, etc. – PREVENTION IS THE KEY!!!
- PREVENTION – there are microbes are all around us and are Unavoidable!
- OPTIMIZE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM – eat mostly whole plant-based foods, unprocessed products, minimize stress and exercise!!
- Establish good and commonsense habits – wash your hands especially if touching inanimate objects or surfaces or any other body parts especially the facial structures, especially if returning from a long day out of your home environment.
