Is your child experiencing pain or discomfort when they bite or chew their food? Have you noticed a dark
spot or discoloration of their tooth?
These may be signs that your child suffers from tooth decay and needs a dental filling in Los Gatos.
Contact Your Los Gatos Children's Dentist
Children should visit their dentist every six months, just like their parents. Routine preventive dental visits can make you aware of early problems like tooth decay and cavities. Preventive teeth cleanings and procedures like dental sealants when they're old enough will help protect their teeth from decay.
If your child starts showing symptoms of tooth decay, contact your children's dentist in Los Gatos for an exam. Tooth decay left untreated can result in a painful tooth infection. By detecting decay early, Dr. Lin may be able to use a simple dental filling to restore the tooth.
When Should My Child Have Their First Dental Visit
Children should begin seeing the dentist when their first teeth arrive or by their first birthday. Early visits help us monitor your child's dental health and development, protecting their precious smile.
