Children’s Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
When your child visits our dental office for the first time, they’ll probably need some time to get used to the new environment. Our team values trust with patients of all ages, so we’ll always give your little ones the personalized care they need to stay comfortable. During each appointment, we’ll take our team cleaning the areas of the mouth that your child is having trouble cleaning on their own, and we’ll address any concerns you might have about the way their mouth is developing.
Dental Sealants
Cavities can occur anywhere in the mouth, but they are especially likely to affect the molars since they’re in an area that’s harder to reach with a toothbrush and have deep grooves that can hold trapped bacteria and debris. Children who are still learning how to brush well tend to have a hard time taking care of their molars by themselves. By protecting the molars with clear plastic coatings called dental sealants, we can give your little one up to 10 years of extra protection for their vulnerable teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
Children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years should have some form of fluoride every day to ensure that their teeth are as strong and decay-resistant as possible once they reach adulthood. To help the development process, we can apply concentrated fluoride directly to your child’s teeth in just a few minutes. This is typically done as part of a regular checkup, especially if we have reason to believe that your child is at a higher-than-average risk for cavities.
Dental Fillings
Do you remember the days when most fillings were made of metal? Nowadays, it’s more common to use a tooth-colored composite resin to repair minor dental damage. This lets us fix your child’s smile in a natural-looking way so that they can be confident smiling in front of the other kids at school. Also, composite resin doesn’t need any undercutting of the tooth before being placed, unlike traditional amalgam fillings; that means that your child will get to keep more of their natural tooth.
