Kids Dentist Linco​ : Best Dentistry in Chicago, USA for Children

No one likes going to the dentist. The prospect of having your teeth cleaned, or worse, a cavity drilled and filled (shudder) makes most people cringe. It's not that dentists are disliked. I’ve never actually heard a dentist joke. Dentists provide a necessary service and are heroes when you have an acutely painful problem that requires their expertise. But lying in a chair while someone uses sharp instruments to scrape around in your wide-open mouth, while you tensely anticipate that moment when the poking begins to hurt, is no one’s idea of a good time. So, given the universally unenthusiastic feeling towards dental care, how do dentists compete for patients?

Oral hygiene is a tough gig—not unlike owning a funeral home or selling tampons. If you’re a dentist, you’re not a “real” doctor. No one really likes you, especially kids. On the product and marketing side it’s an even tougher sell. I don’t know anyone who’s getting pumped to save up for floss and a root canal.

Heading to the dentist for any toddler or children doesn’t do much to prevent tooth decay later on but does cost more money, suggests a new study—despite the fact that it’s been recommended by three professional societies for years. It is observed little evidence of the benefits of this care is regardless of the provider. In fact, preventive dental care from dentists appears to increase caries related treatment, which is surprising.

The Kids Dentist Linco ln Park Chicago recommends that children should have a “dental home”—a practice that begins providing children with preventive dental care—“as early as 6 months old and no later than 12 months of age.” Their rationale is that “children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.

Meanwhile, the children who received early preventive dental care from their pediatricians or family doctors, such as the fluoride varnish that’s recommended for all children, did not differ in their tooth decay rates or dental costs from those who didn’t receive preventive dental care at all.

The most reasonable conclusion is that children with early tooth decay are identified early and subsequently are more likely to be referred for treatment to the best available dentistry at an earlier stage. They also point out the lack of information on which kids used fluoridated tooth paste or did or didn’t eat and drink sugary food and drinks, which increase the risk of tooth decay.
So, what does this mean for parents? It’s probably not necessarily to drag your kid to the dentist in those first few years unless they actually show tooth decay occurring, but if they have several risk factors, a single checkup might not be a bad idea either. The following are risk factors for tooth decay, according to the Kids Dentist Linco, Park Chicago :

• Children with special healthcare needs
• Children whose mothers have a high rate of tooth decay (since this can sometimes be transmitted to others)
• Children with plaque or staining
• Children who continue nighttime feeding, especially bottle feeding, after their first tooth erupts, especially if the food contains natural or added sugars (as nearly any food before 6 months old would)
• Children who have more than three snacks or drinks containing sugar in between regular meals
