At Raviteja's Orthodontic and Dental Care, we love helping kids smile brighter and enjoy optimal oral health. Dr. Raviteja is passionate about promoting healthy oral hygiene habits to kids and providing gentle dental care.
If your child is between the ages of 1 and 3, our doctor focuses on reviewing with you the importance of a tooth-friendly diet as well as habits that your child should avoid. Once kids are over the age of 3, he begins seeing them for routine cleaning and examination.

FAQ
When should I start brushing my child’s teeth?
As soon as your child’s teeth emerge, it is important to keep them clean. You can use a cool washcloth to wipe their teeth until they turn 3. After that time, you can begin to brush their teeth, using a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
How often should I bring my child in for checkups?
Once they are 3 years of age, we recommend that they visit us every six months for an exam and routine cleaning.
Why is it necessary for my child to have X-rays?
Routine X-rays let Dr. Raviteja know if and where cavities are present. They are an essential diagnostic procedure. Our new digital X-rays also emit less radiation than traditional X-rays.
