Plantsville Family Dental

As your dental care provider, our goal is to help you achieve optimal oral health. Our dentist will base his treatment recommendations around what he believes will help achieve that goal. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most from your dental insurance plan, and we will also estimate your co-payment and file your claim as a courtesy to you. For information about your individual insurance benefits, it is best to contact your dental insurance provider. Plantsville Family Dental does accept most dental insurance plans. We also file your claim as a courtesy to you. The best way to determine if your insurance is accepted is to contact our office.

Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth. When in place, implants improve the beauty and function of your smile. In addition, implants allow you to eat any food you’d like, including corn on the cob. When dental implants are in place, they can also reduce the bone shrinkage and loss that commonly occurs when teeth are missing.

The earlier, the better. It is even a good idea to begin cleaning your child’s gums before the teeth come in using water and an infant toothbrush. After the teeth begin to come in, start brushing them with fluoride toothpaste and a child’s toothbrush twice each day.

Thumb-sucking is a normal habit for infants. Most children have grown out of this habit by the time that they are two years old. However, a professional evaluation is recommended if a child continues to suck his or her thumb after the age of three. Prolonged thumb-sucking can cause crooked teeth and/or bite problems. For more information, or to schedule your child’s appointment, please call Plantsville Family Dental today.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child’s first visit to the dentist occurs between 6 and 12 months, or when the baby’s first tooth erupts. Starting dental care early can increase the chances of your child having a lifelong beautiful, healthy smile.
