Choose Your Child's Dentist with the Same Care as Choosing Their Pediatrician

Instilling good habits early, in an environment that's comfortable and fun, is essential for a lifetime of good oral health. It's important to be aware of the reasons children's teeth can be very susceptible to cavities at a young age. Kids aren't able to brush well on their own, so we encourage parents to be involved in their child's daily dental care to ensure both thorough cleaning and the development of proper dental habits. Acid increases the risk of cavities when there is prolonged exposure. This can happen with little kids that tend to "graze," or eat small meals throughout the day. It can also happen when a tooth is not as clean as it should be, stimulating acid production. The good news is that identifying poor dietary and hygiene habits, along with applying a fluoride varnish to the mineralizing teeth, can significantly reduce the chance of your child having a cavity.

Catching Cavities While They're Small

DEXIS CariVu™ is a portable caries (cavity) detection device that utilizes patented transillumination technology for the identification of carious lesions and cracks. Transillumination technology works in near-infrared light. Under these lighting conditions, tooth enamel will appear transparent while porous lesions will appear dark. Early detection of oral health issues is the key to helping children grow up with all their own teeth and to minimize the need for fillings and crowns. Dr. Hatch is dedicated to providing your child with the best modern dentistry has to offer in the way of protections and detections.
