It’s important that dental care treatments are tailored to meet the unique needs of a patient. That means assessing the structures of that patient’s mouth, noting a patient’s dental history, and also accounting for the age of a patient. People have different needs for dental care at different stages of their lives. This is something that Dr. Arthur Manzo always notes when dealing with his patients.
Our office serving the Redwood City and Palo Alto area offers comprehensive family dentistry, which means we tailor your visit to the dental care concerns that are unique to your age group. During your dental visit, we will strive to meet your needs and will inform you of the various dental health concerns that will face you as you get older.
At Manzo Dental, we can provide excellent treatment for you and your entire family. When your baby’s first teeth are coming in or you need to address tooth loss in advanced age, we will be here for you. Our practice has helped numerous patients throughout the Redwood City and Palo Alto area with many different family dentistry treatments. The following is just a partial list of the various services we provide.
When your children are very young, their milk teeth begin to come in, and care for those teeth is imperative for lasting dental health. As they grow a little older, these baby teeth fall out to make room for their permanent teeth. During these early years in your child’s development, we will monitor the health of their teeth and gums to ensure that their smiles will be healthy and wonderful as they grow into adulthood.
When it comes to dental care and teenagers, two of the biggest concerns are wisdom teeth and tooth alignment. Wisdom teeth are extra teeth that come in during the late teens and can cause pain and discomfort if they grow in improperly. It’s important that these wisdom teeth get removed in order to prevent possible dental problems down the line. As for tooth alignment, the teenage years are a great time to undergo treatments that can straighten the smile. Invisalign Teen® is particularly popular since the alignment process is not as conspicuous as traditional braces.
Adult dental care will involve basic dental treatments that have persisted through your childhood and teenage years. We will pay particular attention to the jaw joint and the gums as TMJ disorders and gum disease are common in adults. Invisalign® treatment is popular among adults who have teeth that are crooked, and cosmetic dentistry needs are also quite popular with adults who hope to improve the quality of their smiles.
As you grow older, you’ll notice many changes in your mouth. Dry mouth may be more of an issue, and you may experience some degree of tooth loss and tooth damage as well. To address the dry mouth issue, we can recommend various options for maintaining moisture in the mouth. As for missing or damaged teeth, dental crowns and dental restorations such as bridges and dentures can be quite effective. At Manzo Dental, we will strive to ensure your golden years aren’t hampered by dental problems.
As you can see, the team here at Manzo Dental can meet the needs of patients of all ages. We encourage you to visit our office and to learn how we can help you and your entire family have healthy, wonderful smiles.
