he Tulalip Dental Clinic currently
offers an array of services. The Orthodontics program provides
treatment and care for Tulalip children. The Hygienist program
provides dental health screenings and preventative education.
The sealant program has been a tremendous success in aiding
in the prevention of early cavities. Up to date restorative
materials for fillings, dentures, endodontics, and some minor
oral surgeries are also some of the services that the Tulalip
Dental Clinic can provide.
Good Dental Health Begins as an Infant
- Take your child to see the dentist regularly.
- Have your child drink from a cup by their 1st birthday.
- Brush a baby's teeth with water as soon as they appear.
- Have your child see the dentist by their 1st birthday.
- Floss when 2 of the child's teeth touch.
- Adults need to brush their children's teeth daily with
a "pea-sized" amount of fluoride toothpaste
(as well as their own).
- Ask your dentist about fluoride for your child, so they
can develop decay resistant teeth (birth to age 14).
- A child learns to brush from adults, so set a good example
for them to follow.
