Preventive Dentistry Protects Your Family’s Dental Health

Scheduling and going to your preventive dental cleanings and checkups every six months plays an integral role in having excellent oral health. These visits allow Dr. Terveen and our team to monitor your dental health with screenings for concerns like tooth decay and gum disease and give your hygienist a chance to remove the bacteria and plaque that contribute to these problems.

Science has found that there is a close relationship between the bacteria that causes gum disease and that which causes other health concerns, such as:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Dementia
• Complications during pregnancy

As a trusted member of your health care team, we’re here to help you protect your overall well-being, and the best way we can help you do that is when you are consistent with your preventive care appointments.

If it's time to schedule dental exams and teeth cleanings for your family, call our Colorado Springs, CO dental office for an appointment.

When you’re a parent, there’s no smile more precious to you than your child’s. Preventive dentistry is essential for children, just like adults, and your son or daughter should also be visiting their family dentist in Colorado Springs every six months.

At Springs Family Dental, we see children of all ages. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), your baby should visit the dentist by 12 months old or right after their first tooth comes in.

Typically, children under three can come along to their parents' appointments and receive an exam at no cost. It's essential to get your child acquainted with their Colorado Springs dentist early, so they feel calm and relaxed at each dental visit. Every successful experience they have gradually builds their confidence, so they feel good about seeing the dentist. In fact, we want your child to look forward to visiting us as a break from school or everyday life. 

Let us be a part of your child’s future. Make your child’s first dental appointment today!

What to Expect during Your Child’s First Dental Visit

Each child grows at a different rate, but on average, their first tooth erupts between six and twelve months of age. We recommend that we see them in our dental office as soon as their first tooth has come in but no later than their first birthday. Good oral health starts young, and your child can begin to learn proper oral hygiene techniques early on.

Children are not born with a fear of the dentist, and our Colorado Springs dental team wants to show your child that the dentist can be a fun place to go. We believe that the sooner we see your child, the better the chances that they will not grow to fear us, resulting in better overall dental hygiene.

We make dental visits fun and stress-free; Dr. Michael Terveen and his excellent dental staff make each visit fun and educational. Our fun dental team can educate your child on proper brushing and flossing techniques, along with what good smile-friendly food is. 

While baby teeth are just temporary, the way that they are treated can determine how their permanent teeth develop. Bad dental hygiene habits can be hard to break, so your child must learn how to care for their teeth early on.

Give us a call to schedule your child's first dental exam today! It is never too early to start learning about the importance of dental health; we are here to make each dental visit fun, informative, and full of joy.

We know that a dental emergency can be both stressful and nerve-racking for you and your family. The best thing you can do is stay calm and give our office a call. No matter what the dental emergency, the Springs Family Dental team is here for you.

If your emergency happens during regular business hours, call us immediately, and we will try our absolute hardest to get you in that day. For patients of record, we also offer an after-hours emergency line for those emergencies that happen outside our regular business hours.

The most common emergency dental ailments are knocked-out teeth, pain accompanied by severe swelling, and bleeding that doesn’t stop within twenty minutes. If you are suffering from any of these issues or think you may be experiencing any other type of dental emergency, please give our team a call immediately!

We Make Family Dentistry Convenient and Affordable

Dr. Terveen believes that high-quality dentistry should be available to all patients, and we strive to make dental treatments affordable by working with your dental insurance. If you're uninsured, the Springs Smiles Membership Plan can help you save money on dental procedures.

Our membership plan allows our patients to receive the essential preventive care they need for one low yearly membership fee, as well as discounts and savings on restorative and cosmetic treatment procedures they need during the year. Unlike with dental insurance, patients don’t have to deal with yearly maximums or deductibles, or waiting periods on major treatments they might need when they choose our Springs Smiles Membership Plan.
