Crowns and bridges are made of dental porcelain and can last many years as they are durable and function like a natural tooth. If you are missing a few teeth in a row, a bridge may be a good option to fill in the empty space.

Often we see kids in an emergency for the first visit and it can be unnerving for a child. When the first visit is a positive one, focusing on education and maintenance, it helps to reduce dental anxiety. The best practice is to bring a child to the dental office when they turn 1 or when the first tooth comes out (usually a lower front tooth). At the first visit the dentist examines your child’s teeth or “counts them” and also helps teach best practices for brushing. A lot of parents often ask if baby teeth are important. It’s also interesting that children with cavities or poor oral hygiene have been linked to poor school performance. At age 2 or as soon as a child is able to spit, they can start to use very minimal amount of toothpaste.
