For kids, a visit to the dentist office does not have to be a scary experience. Everyone at this premier practice is dedicated to making any and all appointments less of a strain on you and your children. In fact, Rachel E Gold D.M.D. - Total Health Dentistry and her dedicated staff make it their goal to prevent fear in the course of making prevention and detection a foundation of your child’s health.

It’s important to instill dental hygiene habits at an early age. Consistent brushing and flossing will have an enormous effect on their future oral health. It’s understated, but mechanical brushing is the first line of defense in the fight against cavities.

In addition to brushing, flossing should be encouraged as an effective way to combat gum issues. The string of floss will reach areas of the teeth that brushes can’t and dig out hard-to-remove plaque buildup. Flossing is the best way to combat periodontal disease and reduce bleeding gums.

Rachel E. Gold D.M.D. - Total Health Dentistry believes that there is an oral health total health link. That means that she includes a full oral tissue checkup with all dental exams. Oral decay, when untreated, can cause oral pain and can lead to other illnesses all of which can contribute to a lack of academic focus and school absences due to dental appointments.
