Utilizing Cornerstone Care’s mobile dental unit, licensed dentists and hygienists visit local Head Start programs, schools, businesses, and other community locations to provide dental screenings, exams, and cleanings. The goal is to educate parents and children about the importance of good oral health and get all patients into a dental home so all their oral health needs may be met.
As a general rule of thumb, adults should visit their dentist for a cleaning once every six months. However, you may need more frequent visits depending on your oral needs.
Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday, or 6 months after the eruption of their first tooth. After that, experts recommend that children visit the dentist twice a year.
One of the most effective ways to get your kids to practice good habits is by modeling good habits yourself. Be enthusiastic about brushing your own teeth to help make your child excited about brushing theirs. Cornerstone Care’s dental hygienists can recommend creative ways to encourage your children to brush their teeth if you want suggestions.
Fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral found in water and a variety of foods that helps prevent tooth decay. It does this by making tooth enamel more resistant to acid from plaque and bacteria in the mouth. Children who drink fluoridated water from birth have been found to experience less dental decay when compared to children who don’t.
