Hello new Pearland, Friendswood, and Alvin parents. We know that keeping babies and toddlers safe and healthy requires constant effort. You snap them snuggly in their car seats, baby-proof your medicine cabinet, and guard the stairway with a gate. You take them to your Houston pediatrician for immunizations, check-ups, and an occasional prescription for antibiotics.
David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates: Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry wants to remind you about another important component of child wellness: oral health. Sadly, we see too many cases of completely preventable child tooth decay.
Don’t put babies to bed with a bottle
Don’t allow children to drink juice continually during the day
Prevent frequent snacking on sugary foods
Oral health is intrinsically connected to overall physical health and normal development. If your oral hygiene is not up to par, now is the time to shape up and help your young child develop excellent oral health habits that will serve them well throughout their life.
David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates: Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry recommends beginning twice-yearly dental visits around age one or when the first tooth erupts. Our friendly staff helps young patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their exams. Dr. David C. Montz can advise you on thumb sucking, dental sealants, normal child tooth development, braces, athletic tooth protection, or any other pediatric dental issue.
In addition to pediatric dentistry, David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates: Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry offers the full spectrum of restorative and cosmetic dental treatments such as:
Sedation dentistry
CEREC dental crowns
Porcelain veneers
Teeth whitening
Family dentistry
If your toddler has not yet visited the dentist, schedule an appointment ASAP by calling us at 832-895-5120.
