Preventive dentistry is perhaps the single most important role the pediatric dentist can play in your child's life. Beginning dental visits early is the key to success, as it assists us in recognizing and warding off potential problems before they become serious. Preventive dentistry means a happy and healthy child: a child who can chew food more easily and gain more nutrients from the food he or she eats, a child who can speak more quickly and clearly, a child with confidence because he or she has a healthy smile and appearance. Important to you, as a parent, is that preventive dentistry means less extensive and less expensive treatment for your child.

Preventive Dentistry Starts Early On

Preventive dentistry begins with the first tooth, typically around one year of age. This is the time you should schedule your child's initial pediatric dentist visit with us. We will teach you how to protect your child's dental health by providing a personalized program of brushing and flossing, thoroughly examining your child to detect any potential problem areas, diet counseling, and if necessary, fluoride recommendations. This will help ensure your child grows up a part of the cavity-free generation. Remember, the earlier the dental visit, the better the chance of preventing dental disease in your child.


There are various benefits that come from visiting Dr. Banas on a regular basis from maintaining good oral hygiene to ensuring happy and healthy teeth. This includes preventing the formation and buildup of plaque. It is very important to make sure that your child is taking care of their teeth. Please call our office for more information about our preventive dentistry solutions, including routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and more. We also offer cavity fillings to prevent further damage. Our family dentist is proud to be your source of preventive dentistry in the Buffalo, NY area.
