Pediatric Dentistry

Proper dental care early in life is essential to good dental health throughout adulthood. Dr. Beninato's patients in Omaha and surrounding areas, often bring their children in for dental care, as well.

Infants should have their first dental exam by the time they are a year old. After their first visit, children should see a dentist once every six months.

Identifying potential dental problems before they occur gives you the opportunity to prevent them before they become serious or permanent.

By taking your child to the dentist early in life you can learn about how you individual child's teeth should be developing, and how to spot warning signs of any possible problems before they develop.

While you will want to assist your child until he or she is able to brush and floss independently, you should start teaching your child proper dental hygiene techniques as early as possible.

Children who are very fearful of dental visits or who must undergo procedures such as tooth extraction or fillings can benefit from our pediatric dentistry.

Preventing bad habits can help to prevent orthodontic problems from developing. We can teach you how to spot and stop these habits, such as thumb sucking and fingernail biting.

Should you child develop crooked teeth, an early start on orthodontics can make your child's teeth straightening experience go by faster and with less discomfort.

Regular and enjoyable visits to the dentist in childhood will help establish healthy dental habits that last a lifetime.
