Health Tips & Info
At Harris Park Dental, we carefully monitor your child’s tooth and jaw development—ensuring healthy growth, timely eruption, and early detection of potential issues for a confident, well-aligned smile.
Tracking how your child’s teeth and jaws grow allows us to spot issues like crowding, misalignment, or delayed eruption early—often before they become serious.
We assess spacing, timing of tooth eruption, jaw alignment, and habits like thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting that could affect development.
Through visual exams, dental X-rays (when needed), bite assessments, and by comparing tooth eruption to standard growth milestones.
We’ll check for underlying causes like crowding or impaction and may recommend X-rays or extraction to guide healthy adult tooth eruption.
