Maintaining excellent oral health is a lifelong journey that changes at every stage of development. From baby teeth to senior care, each family member has unique dental needs. At D & R Dentistry, we provide comprehensive family dental care under one roof in West Kendall.
Infants & Children: Building Strong Foundations
Healthy habits start early. Even before baby teeth emerge, wipe your infant's gums with a clean, damp cloth after feedings. Schedule their first dental visit by their first birthday. Children should brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice for under 3, and a pea-sized amount for ages 3-6).
Teens & Young Adults: Protection and Alignment
As permanent teeth finish emerging, orthodontic evaluations become crucial. Dr. Carlos Fernandez Feo specializes in braces and Invisalign for teens to ensure proper alignment. Additionally, teens playing sports should wear custom-fitted mouthguards to prevent dental trauma.
Adults: Maintenance and Restoration
For adults, the focus shifts to preventing gum disease and restoring damaged teeth. Stress can lead to teeth grinding (bruxism), which we can treat with custom nightguards. Regular cleanings and oral cancer screenings are essential components of adult preventive care.
Seniors: Specialized Care and Comfort
As we age, we become more susceptible to dry mouth (often caused by medications), root cavities, and tooth loss. We specialize in helping seniors maximize their Medicare Advantage dental benefits to cover deep cleanings, crowns, and dental implants, ensuring comfort and function in their golden years.
