Pediatric Dentist in Montclair, NJ

With Halloween right around the corner, you can bet good money on the fact that all children, yours included, will be gorging on candy. It's a given. There's not much you can do to prevent it. But one thing you can do to make up for all the Hershey Kisses and candy corn that will be consumed in the next few weeks, is to take your child to Clifton Pediatric and let our Montclair, NJ pediatric dentist examine your little one's teeth.

At Clifton Pediatric Dental Care, our highly trained Montclair, NJ pediatric dentist and dental staff use special calming techniques to make young patients feel comfortable. We also use special tools that are sized for children so that the check-up will be more physically comfortable as well. We want to instill healthy dental care habits as early as possible, and also put a priority on creating a positive experience when your child comes to see us. The less fearful they are, the more willing they will be to come in for check-ups and cleanings.

Our Montclair, NJ pediatric dentist Dr. Sugarman recommends that preschool-aged children start flossing by age two and brushing their teeth after breakfast and before bedtime. For school-aged children we recommend you monitor your child's flossing until they are at least 10 years old. For teenagers, diet can play a big role in the amount of tooth decay and gum disease they experience. Make sure to watch out for their eating habits and be sure that they are brushing and flossing sufficiently.
