For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised Georgia parents to begin children’s dentist visits before the third birthday.

The AAP now advises parents to take their toddler to a family dentist before their first birthday, or about six months after their first tooth appears.

Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention! Sadly, Wilmette and Evanston, IL family dentists often find advanced tooth decay in very young children.

High-risk children should be seen as early as possible. Following are some of the risk factors:

• Sleeping with a bottle
• Drinking juice continually during the day
• Abnormal tooth development
• Thumb sucking
• Tooth grinding
• A mother with significant tooth decay
• Other health problems

To talk to us about family dentistry, call us today. Children love Dentist Dr. Dino Mantis, DDS. We also pamper busy Evanston or Wilmette parents who come to Dino Mantis DDS for general and cosmetic dentistry. No matter what your age is, we would love to provide you with the most advanced dental care in Evanston.

By the way, I am a member of the American Dental Association. You can learn more about American Dental Association at their website located at www.ada.org

The American Dental Association offers some welcome advice for choosing a dentist in Wilmette. We have already talked about how word of mouth is an important factor in how many people find a dentist. Here are some things you should look for in a Wilmette dentist:

Location is always a factor when choosing a dentist in Wilmette. If you live in the Wilmette, IL area, there are many options, and most Wilmette locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Wilmette dentist.

Relationship is a strong factor. Your Wilmette dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Wilmette dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of oral hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your Wilmette dentist and the dental office staff.

Specialty is another important factor in choosing a dentist in Wilmette. Some dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry. Others specialize in corrective dentistry such as braces. Depending on your need, you may select a local Wilmette dentist who can solve your immediate concern. Bare in mind, however, that it is good to have a general dentist who can maintain your dental history and work with you through the years.

If you are looking for a dentist in Wilmette, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas.

I look forward to meeting you.

If you have children in the Wilmette area, there is no better time to consider pediatric

dentistry than right now.

The best time to start your children on a pediatric dentistry program is when their teeth first appear. This may seem a bit early, however it is a great time to become acquainted with pediatric dentistry options, learn training techniques for teaching your children, and assessing the health of your child’s teeth before problems begin.

We can also help you identify pediatric dentistry programs and services in the Wilmette area, for you child.

Remember: The best time to consider pediatric dentistry is while you have options. Waiting until problems appear reduces your options and misses the very reason we are concerned about pediatric dentistry; to help your child grow healthy and strong teeth that will last a lifetime.

Bring your questions to our leading edge treatment in a warm and friendly atmosphere staff at Dino Mantis DDS. We are located at 1625 Sheridan Road, in Wilmette, IL.

We are looking forward to seeing you, and to discussing pediatric dentistry with you and your children.
