At Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry we understand that keeping your child cavity free can be difficult. To help achieve this goal it is important to teach children how to brush and floss their teeth correctly from an early age. Parents must also be shown how to help their children, not just with the brushing, but also by providing healthy foods that are less likely to cause dental decay. In addition, the pediatric dentists at Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry recommend having your child get prophylactic teeth cleaning at least twice a year to ensure that food deposits and plaque buildup are removed efficiently.
