Why do children need specialized dentistry?

As part of Dr. Brar’s family dentistry, she specializes in taking care of the youngest members by offering pediatric dentistry. This form of dentistry is crucial as your child’s teeth first start coming in. While these teeth are temporary, their importance can’t be overstated when it comes to your child’s development.

These starter teeth help your child chew and speak properly early on, and they act as warm-ups and placeholders for their secondary teeth. Maintaining the health of these first teeth is extremely important, which is where Dr. Brar can help. Through vigilant monitoring, she ensures that baby teeth stay strong until they’re ready to give way to adult teeth.

During this transition, Dr. Brar checks to make sure that their teeth come in correctly, and she intervenes when necessary in order to provide your child with teeth fit for a lifetime of service.

Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Brar provides a friendly environment that puts your child at ease, taking the fear out of going to the dentist.

How often should I see the dentist?

Each family member is different. If you have children, you should see Dr. Brar as soon as their baby teeth start to erupt. She recommends that you bring your child in every six months to avoid decay and other dental problems. Once their permanent teeth come in, they join the world of “adult” dentistry, which means that every member of the family should see Dr. Brar twice a year for regular cleanings and care.
