Importance of Baby Teeth
Many parents will ask “Why worry about baby teeth when they are going to fall out?” Baby teeth (primary teeth) are important because they do not only aid in function of the oral cavity through chewing and speech development, but they also help to hold space for the developing permanent teeth. Excellent dental care helps to aid the developing oral cavity prepare for the emergence of the permanent teeth.
When primary teeth get decay, they can lead to dental pain and abscessed teeth. Studies have shown that children with severe decay miss more days of school and have a harder time concentrating in school. It is important for children to build strong preventive habits early on so that they may go on to have excellent dental hygiene as they mature.
Our goals are to help minimize early childhood decay, and restoring teeth that have cavities which may cause children discomfort and pain.
Our doctors will always explain when and why a tooth needs a restoration and how to prevent future cavities from developing through diet and good oral hygiene.
Our caring and dedicated staff can't wait to hear from you! Clean, friendly and excellent care! My daughter loves it here! - Ashley D My child is always at ease when he has dental visits. The staff is always attentive and helpful. - Ingrid N Great place for kids, completely new way of doing dentistry for children ! My daughter was very fearful initially but the staff and Dr. Koymen put her at ease and let the appointment proceed at her pace . She now loves the dentist and cannot wait to go back! Highly recommend Chesapeake pediatric dental! - Brittany J My 5 year old daughter is a patient in your office. Even though she does fairly well for the pediatrician for some reason she is very timid of having to lay back in the chair and having someone look in her mouth. At her last visit my normally shy girl even went to the X-ray room and got X-rays! She loved Dr Jolesz and had a great cavity free visit! - Melissa T What a great place! Awesome doctors and staff! - Melissa S
