Pediatric Dentistry

Ensuring oral health begins with preventive strategies. Our services focus on keeping your child's teeth in excellent shape:

Pediatric Dental Exams & Cleanings

Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for preventing cavities and gum issues. During your child's visit, we will:

• Thoroughly clean and polish their teeth
• Check for signs of decay, gum problems, and alignment issues
• Utilize digital X-rays when needed for a comprehensive evaluation
• Provide tailored advice for at-home oral care

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. We offer safe fluoride applications post-cleaning to protect your child's teeth. Sodium fluoride, a natural mineral, aids in rebuilding tooth structure and fortifying enamel. This is vital for preventing cavities by reducing cavity-causing bacteria growth in children's teeth. Applying fluoride twice a year is an effective approach to ensure your child's dental health.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin protective layers applied to the back teeth to help prevent cavities. They are particularly useful for children who may struggle with cleaning their molars thoroughly or have higher decay risk. The deep grooves on these back molars lack natural enamel sealing. Applying sealants simplifies maintaining cleanliness of the back teeth and prevents cavities in those grooves.

• Start brushing early – Use a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste as soon as the first tooth appears.
• Encourage healthy eating – Limit sugary snacks and drinks that can lead to cavities.
• Make dental care fun – Let kids choose a colorful toothbrush and play music while they brush.
• Lead by example – Brush and floss together to encourage lifelong habits.
• Schedule regular dental visits – Visit the dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings.
