Apr 29, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Saginaw, MI pediatric dentist, Dr. John M. Harasin, believes that parents should begin bringing their child to the dentist when their first teeth start appearing to provide them with the best tools and practices for life-long oral health. In the U.S., oral decay is the number one preventable disease that affects children, and proper dental care can help minimize those statistics.
“Although young children can’t necessarily care for their own teeth when they start to grow in, parents play a huge role in making sure their child’s oral health stays in great condition, which is why we encourage them to visit the dentist in the early stages,” said Dr. Harasin, pediatric and cosmetic dentist in Saginaw, MI. “During these early visits, we can provide excellent advice about keeping children’s teeth and gums healthy from the start.”
Most oral decay in children results from infrequent or improper brushing and flossing techniques on a daily basis. Although many parents with children of an independent age may think their children are cleaning their teeth properly and regularly, oftentimes that is not the case.
“We encourage all parents to take an active role in their child’s oral health—even if that means brushing their teeth for them past the age of when they’re able to do it themselves,” said Dr. Harasin. “This ensures that children really are learning and practicing proper cleaning techniques on a regular basis, which is the absolute best long-term solution for optimal oral health.”
In addition to providing excellent pediatric services, Dr. Harasin and his staff also provide a variety of dental services for patients of all ages, including preventative, restorative, and cosmetic care. Dr. Harasin is a highly skilled dental implants dentist in Saginaw, MI for patients who have failing or missing teeth. He is also a certified Saginaw, MI sedation dentist for patients seeking a more relaxing dental visit.
A practicing dentist for more than 25 years, Dr. Harasin is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest dental tools, techniques, and procedures to ensure that his patients receive the best care possible. Dr. Harasin graduated from the University Of Michigan School Of Dentistry and is a member of several professional associations, including the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the Saginaw County Dental Society.
