Where Patients in the Glendale Area Turn for Pediatric Dental Services

As a first time parent or as a newcomer to the Glendale area, you have many decisions to make for your child’s welfare. Selecting a practice to provide pediatric dental services might be one of the most important of those decisions. The condition of your child’s mouth influences appearance, self-esteem, nutrition, and physical wellness – now and for the rest of his or her life. The right dental team helps you instill excellent lifetime oral habits and a positive attitude about dental care. For savvy parents throughout the Glendale area, that team is Dr. Sameet Koppikar and his staff at the Biltmore Dental Center in Phoenix.

The Significance of Early Dental Care

“Why worry about taking him to the dentist now? Baby teeth are going to fall out anyway.” Sadly, that is a common misconception. The health of your child’s mouth, even before the first teeth emerge, plays a vital role in overall wellness. Regular dental visits allow the dentist to identify conditions such as thrush and baby bottle syndrome, talk with you about pacifiers, and plan for baby’s oral development. Baby teeth are important place keepers for adult teeth. Gum disease can develop at any age, and your child shouldn’t have to suffer the embarrassment and discomfort of tooth decay.

The dentist who treats your child acts as your advisor, offers educational resources, and provides information that helps you make the best possible healthcare decisions for your family. As your little one grows into a teen, easy rapport is established with the dental team. This builds a trusting relationship where the adolescent can confide in the dental team about appearance concerns, discomfort, and outside influences (like pressure to use tobacco, alcohol, or drugs) that impact oral health.

As the teen grows into an adult, there’s no need to change dental practices. He or she can continue to receive care in customary surroundings from a familiar dentist and staff.
