Littleton children's dentist Dr. Robert Madden plays an important role not only in correcting these dental concerns but also in teaching young kids and their parents the importance of maintaining good dental health as they get older. He believes that the younger kids start prioritizing their dental health, the better.

The way a child's teeth grow in and how he cares for them have repercussions that reach all the way into adulthood—Everything from the bite to the shape of the teeth matter. Poor dental health can even affect the shape of the child's face and the way he talks or eats. The oral health habits that kids form when they're young—including going to the dentist regularly—may also follow them into adulthood.

Dr. Madden offers a number of common services that children need to maintain good oral health, including basic cleanings, cavity fillings and tooth decay therapy. The Littleton children's dentist also offers cosmetic dental solutions to common aesthetic problems that kids have with their teeth. The doctor also provides comprehensive dental education on his website for parents, including brushing techniques to ensure good oral health and how to protect a child from sports and playground injuries. Parents are also advised to start flossing their kids' teeth as early as age four to prevent gum disease -- they can start flossing on their own around age eight or nine.

"Kids are very impressionable and bright. When they learn about proper dental care from a very young age they carry these valuable lessons into adulthood. I provide parents with the necessary information they need to pass onto their children, including brushing habits, flossing and protecting their teeth," says Dr. Madden.
