Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood health issues. Fortunately, early detection can identify it and prevent serious problems in the future. Parents should be aware of the warning signs of tooth decay to help protect their child’s smile. The most common indicators include:

  • White or brown spots on teeth, which can be early signs of enamel breakdown
  • Tooth sensitivity or pain when eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages
  • Visible holes, dark spots, or pits, which may signal advanced decay
  • Persistent bad breath, which can indicate bacterial buildup from cavities
  • Swelling, redness, tenderness, or irritation around a particular tooth, resulting from infection

To prevent decay, encourage good oral hygiene habits, like brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and limiting sugary snacks. Regular dental checkups also help, as they allow dentists to catch cavities early and recommend appropriate treatments.

If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a dental visit as soon as possible.

Teeth Cleanings and Exams Technology

childrens dentist miami | panoramic x-rays

Panoramic X-Rays

Unlike traditional x-rays that focus on individual teeth, panoramic x-rays capture a single, detailed image encompassing all the structures of the mouth and jaw. Dr. Paula uses panoramic x-rays for orthodontic assessments, monitoring dental development, and detecting dental issues.

Panoramic x-rays offer significant benefits for young patients. They provide a complete picture of oral structures, allowing for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning. Panoramic x-rays use less radiation than multiple traditional x-rays, making them safer for children. The x-rays are taken outside the mouth, so the process is fast, non-invasive, and comfortable.
