Early treatments to prevent
In all fields of medicine and dentistry, prevention is the key. Caring for your child today will save you and your family worry, stress and money in the future. Early treatment can proactively correct problems during your child’s growing years, resulting in less invasive procedures in the future. At the Martin Goenaga Clinic we like to see children for the first time at age 4. In this way we will be able to eliminate oral habits that are detrimental to the normal development of the dentition, as well as act on the maxillary bones that are in a phase of formation and growth.
Problems with jaw growth or occlusion (the way the teeth fit together) can lead to more serious complications that may affect breathing or speech patterns. On the other hand, if crowding is a problem, leaving it untreated can result in permanent (adult) tooth extractions later in life.
Besides, Dr. Martin will treat them as if they were his children!
