Preventative Dentistry

At Great Grins Children’s Dentistry, we want our patients to maintain a healthy smile. Because of this, Dr. Wolfman and Dr. Lele encourage preventative dental care. This is especially important in a child’s early years. Preventative dental visits are the best way to avoid bigger problems in the future. They will also help prevent fear of the dentist. In order for children to grow up with healthy teeth, they should start with early and regular dental visits. Another important step is to maintain good oral hygiene at home.
