Today, we had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Eric Lac, the general dentist from Smile City Dental. Dr. Lac’s journey into dentistry was inspired by his childhood experiences and the rich, memorable moments from dental school.
At Smile City Dental, Dr. Lac works with his brother, Dr. Aaron Lac, creating a harmonious partnership that benefits their young patients. Dr. Lac shared insightful tips for parents on instilling good dental habits in children and the ideal age for a child's first dental visit.
Dr. Lac discussed the common dental issues in kids, the importance of diet and nutrition, his recommendation for teeth whitening, and fluoride's vital role in a child's dental health. Dr. Lac also shared strategies for parents to ease their child's fear of the dentist and how kids can enjoy Halloween candy while preventing cavities.
The conversation rounded off with Dr. Lac expressing the joy and satisfaction he derives from helping children achieve bright, healthy smiles. His passion for his work and the invaluable advice he shared make this episode a must-listen for parents and children.
