Our children’s oral health is of utmost importance, which is why they should see a dentist by their first birthday in order to ensure that their teeth are coming in strong and healthy. However, there is now proof that children inherit their parent’s oral health. The mother’s oral health during pregnancy can be a determiner in how the child’s own oral health will develop. It was discovered that children born to mothers with bad oral health also experienced similar traits.

In order to ensure your children’s dental health, it is important to make sure that your teeth are in top shape, which means sticking with routine visits to your dentist. At my Beverly Hills practice, I encourage patients to come in for a cleaning at least once a year, and twice for optimal health. This helps me better monitor their oral health and dental structure in order to prevent serious problems and/or diseases. Proper treatment for any dental/oral issue can greatly improve the overall health of your teeth and gums, as well as help prevent further problems. Some of the dental procedures performed at my practice near Los Angeles include routine cleaning, dental implants, and porcelain veneers. It is my goal to help every patient achieve a healthier, brighter smile.

I encourage all individuals to visit my website to learn more regarding their oral health. In addition, mothers-to-be should take further precautions and make sure that their teeth and gums are in their best shape.
