Gilbert, AZ – January 29, 2025– According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 20% of children aged 5 to 11 years have at least one untreated dental cavity. At Island Dental in Gilbert, Arizona, we believe that every child deserves a healthy and radiant smile. That's why we're thrilled to announce our comprehensive pediatric dental services focused on establishing safe and effective oral hygiene habits from an early age.

"We understand that instilling good oral hygiene practices in children can be challenging," says Dr. Naman B. Patel at Island Dental. "Our team is passionate about creating a fun and engaging environment where kids can learn the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups. We work closely with parents to provide personalized guidance and support, ensuring that every child has the tools they need to maintain a healthy smile for life."

Why Early Intervention Matters

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children have their first dental visit within six months of the eruption of their first tooth or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early dental visits are crucial for several reasons.

• Prevention: Early detection of dental problems, such as cavities and gum disease, can prevent them from becoming more severe and costly to treat.

• Education: Pediatric dentists can educate children and parents about proper oral hygiene techniques, healthy eating habits, and the importance of regular dental checkups.

• Comfort: Early dental visits help children become comfortable with the dental environment, reducing anxiety and fear associated with dental care.
