Children’s Dentistry from Papageorgiou Dental Associates

July 27, 2012

In our last post, we mentioned that Papageorgiou Dental Associates offers essential care for patients of all ages, including children. Today we’d like to talk more about our commitment to Natick’s littlest patients by explaining what you can expect from a children’s dentistry visit.

Essential Care for Natick’s Littlest Smiles

At our office, we offer children’s dentistry for patients as young as two years old. It might surprise you that children as young as that even need oral care, but it’s true.

Part of our goal for children that young is to create a positive experience. By creating positive experiences for your child, we can encourage them to make regular care a priority all throughout their life.

Here’s what you can expect from a regular children’s dentistry visit:

First, Dr. Christina Papageorgiou will examine your child’s teeth for signs of tooth decay or gum disease. If it looks like your child’s teeth might be vulnerable to decay, we may use a fluoride treatment or dental sealants to help provide your little one’s teeth with extra protection. Dr. Papageorgiou will also look for indications that your child might need braces at some point, in addition to checking for signs of jaw or bite problems. Then, we’ll complete your child’s appointment by educating them on brushing and flossing—something we’re committed to teaching every patient we see.

Is It Time for Your Child’s Next Appointment?

If it’s time for your child’s next appointment, call Papageorgiou Dental Associates today. We gladly serve patients of all ages from Natick, Framingham, Wellesley, and beyond with great general, cosmetic, and restorative services.

 

Dentistry for the Whole Family

July 13, 2012

Welcome to the blog for Papageorgiou Dental Associates! This is where you’ll find information and news about our Natick office, including info about our services and great oral care tips you can share with friends or family.

We’ll kick things off today by talking about our comprehensive family dentistry services. As your Natick family dentist, Dr. Christina Papageorgiou offers helpful general, cosmetic, and restorative services.

But we don’t just offer services for adults. Papageorgiou Dental Associates also serves children with children’s dentistry. All of which makes our office a great place for you to bring your whole family.

How often should your child come in for a visit?

We recommend scheduling a regular exam and cleaning twice a year, or about every six months. Such visits are important, because they give Dr. Papageorgiou a chance to check your smile for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and an even more serious problem like oral cancer. By putting off or ignoring important visits like these, you could be setting yourself up for more advanced cases of decay and gum disease. But you can help yourself avoid that through regular care and great brushing and flossing at home.

Are you ready to schedule your visit with Papageorgiou Dental Associates? Call our Natick office today to set up your appointment. We serve families from Framingham, Wellesley, Wayland, Weston, Ashland, Sherborn, and beyond. We look forward to hearing from you!
