Importance Of Jaw Placement

Kewaskum Family Dentistry, Orthodontics

At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we believe in treating a child’s orthodontic needs as soon as possible. Many times, when parents learn their children need to start orthodontic care at a young age, they can get slightly nervous and panicked, thinking it is too soon. Parents often look at their children’s teeth to see if they are crooked or crowded when trying to decide if braces are necessary. The placement of the jaw and arch development are the true reasons we may recommend orthodontic treatment at an early age.

Cosmetic Dentistry, Kewaskum Family Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry

At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we do everything possible to save your natural teeth, but we are not always successful. There can be a number of reasons a patient might be missing a tooth or need to have a tooth extracted, such as severe decay, trauma to the mouth or complications from an illness or medication. No matter the reason, we know that it can be traumatic to deal with the emotions and decisions that need to be made about the empty space in your mouth. Many patients wonder whether their missing teeth need to be replaced at all. This is a common question, especially when a rear molar needs to be removed. We encourage each patient to replace their missing teeth no matter the location in the mouth.
