According to a prominent pediatric dentist Staten
Island, early orthodontic treatment contributes
to the health of a child. A good dentist Staten
Island NY will focus on dentistry that
contributes to the overall well-being of
children. You want to make sure that you are
dealing with a pediatric dentist Staten Island
who emphasizes teaching healthy eating patterns
and proper oral health practices for children and
families. Such a Staten Island dentist will have
practiced lone enough to gain sufficient
experience and will have provided hundreds of
children, with successful orthodontic treatment.

It has become increasingly clear to the leading
orthodontic and pediatric dentist Staten Island
and across that nation that problems of all
sorts, oral health inclusive, can be prevented if
a healthy oral environment is present during a
child's formative stages of growth and
development. A good pediatric dentist Staten
Island is one who widely accepts the fact that
early orthodontic treatment is useful for
correcting cross-bites and making room for
permanent teeth. Early orthodontic treatment can
contribute to avoidance of more extensive
corrective treatment as the child reaches
adulthood while it can also contribute to a
healthier self-esteem.

However, it's also important to note another
reason-in addition to correcting cross-bites and
making room for permanent teeth-why many
orthodontists, general local dentists and any
good pediatric dentist Staten Island who provide
orthodontic services for children, recommend
expansion of childrens palates when they are
young. An adequately expanded palate provides an
ideal environment for the tongue to rest the
tongue is in rest when one is not using it for
eating or talking. If the palate is too short and
too narrow to accommodate the resting tongue,
deviant swallowing and thrusting patterns can
develop that can also lead to other problems such
as orthodontic relapse in adolescence/adulthood,
the inability to close the lips at rest, chronic
mouth breathing and other respiratory problems
and susceptibility to developing a long facial
appearance

Straight teeth can indeed be an indicative
component of a healthy and attractive smile.
Historically, a desire for straight teeth has
been the primary reason for a person to seek the
services of cosmetic dentists. There is now,
however, empirical and scientific evidence to
support that, in addition to providing a good
foundation for straight teeth, an adequately
developed or expanded palate can also provide a
good foundation for optimal resting position of
the tongue and commensurate healthy swallowing
and nasal breathing patterns. Hopefully, early
orthodontic treatment by a pediatric dentist
Staten Island will someday be seen as, not only a
means by which we can help a child have straight
teeth, but also, as a treatment option that can
help promote a normal resting tongue posture and
healthy nasal breathing.
