But what you also want is a dentist that is a convenient drive from your home, work or school.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Preventive Dentistry in San Antonio<\/h2>\n<p>The first order of dentistry is making sure you and your family avoid dental and oral health problems. This is accomplished at your regularly scheduled preventive checkups. At these visits every six months, your teeth are examined for signs of decay, your gums are checked for periodontal disease and a professional dental cleaning is performed.<\/p>\n<p>Gum disease is a bacterial infection that can lead to other systemic health troubles such as high blood pressure and heart disease. So just by seeing your San Antonio dentist twice a year, you\u2019ll be helping to keep your smile and body in good condition.<\/p>\n<h2>Pediatric Dentistry<\/h2>\n<p>Baby or primary teeth may only be temporary, but they play a vital role in your child\u2019s development. Speech, nutrition and confidence are all dependent on a healthy smile.<\/p>\n<p>The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends an initial visit by the time your child is one year old. At this time, the dentist will simply examine your baby\u2019s few teeth and check his or her bite development. Then, regular checkups should begin between the ages of two and three years old.<\/p>\n<h2>Dental Sealants<\/h2>\n<p>Dental sealants are an excellent way to help prevent cavities. Many people believe they are reserved for children, because they have more difficulty cleaning their deeply pitted molars and keeping them free of debris, which attracts bacteria that could lead to decay. However, sealants can be just as helpful for an adult who is prone to developing cavities.<\/p>\n<p>Applying sealants is easy. After one of you regular checkups, your teeth are dried and a mild acid solution is applied to roughen the surfaces\u2014much like sanding a piece of wood. This is rinsed away, your teeth are dried again and the sealant solution is painted on to your teeth. Once dried, you have a solid barrier between the biting surfaces of your teeth and bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>For all of these services and more, you can trust a family dentist in San Antonio. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laithdentistry.com\/appointment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Call today to schedule an appointment.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Meet the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Laith Family Dentistry team offers comprehensive family dental care for patients of all ages \u2014 including children.
