\"children's<\/a>During childhood, there are some ailments that are simply unavoidable\u2014runny noses, coughs, upset tummies and the like. There is one ailment, however, that is completely avoidable. With good oral hygiene at home and regular visits to the dentist, your child does not need to have cavities. And did you know that dental cavities are among the most common childhood ailments? Dr. Renee Corbitt<\/a> in Fort Worth, TX<\/a>, practices children\u2019s dentistry<\/a> with an equal emphasis on prevention and comfort.<\/p>\n

Your child\u2019s oral health actually begins at home with you. When those first little teeth appear, believe it or not they need cleaning. Use a soft toothbrush and pea-sized amount of non-fluoride toothpaste to gently clean the teeth. Of course, as your child grows and more teeth appear, more care is required.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Dentistry with Dr. Corbitt<\/b><\/p>\n

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children visit a pediatric dentist by the time they are one year old. When you bring your children to see Dr. Corbitt, we do our best to make their visit as fun, friendly and non-frightening as possible.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to bring your children to the dentist twice a year for regular checkups. At these visits, Dr. Corbitt will examine their teeth for any signs of decay. Children\u2019s teeth are susceptible to decay, unfortunately, because kids may not be the most diligent when it comes to brushing. Consequently, the sugar in food remains on their teeth and turns into acid, which causes tooth decay.<\/p>\n

However, tooth decay is preventable with proper brushing and flossing, as well as regular visits to the dentist. Along with cleanings, Dr. Corbitt may recommend fluoride treatments to strengthen your children\u2019s teeth. Dental sealants are another common treatment that \u201cseal\u201d the deep grooves in your children\u2019s teeth, thereby preventing decay. Sealants can last for years, but do require monitoring.<\/p>\n
