5 Preventative Tips at Home
Simple ways to keep your smile healthy and strong.
Travel around our wheel of knowledge for some fun secrets for taking care of your kids dental health thanks to our pediatric dentist Dr. Riar and the team at Riar Dental Arts! Once teeth come in at around age 1 is when you’ll first come in to see our dentist. We can sit down for happy visits with your kids in your lap and introduce them to some great brushing and flossing techniques that will keep them taking care of their teeth every day, twice a day, maybe more! Once a full set of teeth comes in our dentist wants to focus on taking care of them for the long term and with our help your kids can have a strong smile for years to come.

Should My Child Go To The Dentist?
Oral Hygiene is Important at Every age
Six-month checkups at the dentist for yourself and your little ones are no joke! Germs, bacteria and plaque occur at any age and can cause significant problems if left untreated. During the formative years of your child’s dental health a simple six month visit with the dentist can help set them up for a lifetime of healthier teeth and happier, cavity-free smiles! Give us a call at 661-832-1877 to schedule your child’s next visit to the dentist.

At Riar Dental Arts we help educate families on making dental health a collaborative effort. As your child learns to mirror examples of healthy teeth by brushing and flossing at home you’ll feel great about their dental health, and your child will love coming in to show our team their shiny pearly whites!
