Every time you visit Northwest Children's Dentistry, your Tucson pediatric dentist, you may have noticed that we ask a lot of questions about your child's diet. Generally, we will discuss the following topics with you every time you come to the office:
- What your child eats at meals, drinks, and snacks
- The frequency each type of food or drink is consumed
- Recommended changes for improving your child's dental health
Our goal in asking these questions is to pinpoint potential problems that could result in costly and complicated dental treatments in the future. We believe that prevention is worth an ounce of cure, so we will often advise to limit your child's consumption of sugary foods and drinks.
We understand that all children are unique and may have differing oral health needs. Being able to understand how your child’s teeth and gums are impacted by nutrition reduces their risk for cavities and decay.
As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want your kids to eat healthy and maintain strong teeth. If you have any dental questions, feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
