Building Healthy Smiles with Preventive Care
Preventative Pediatric Dentistry
Starting preventive care early is one of the best ways to protect your child’s dental health. Our pediatric services are designed to support long-term oral wellness and build strong habits for life.
Dental Exams & Cleanings
Routine checkups help prevent cavities, gum issues, and bite misalignments. At each visit, we:
- Gently clean and polish your child’s teeth
- Check for cavities, gum health, and alignment concerns
- Use digital X-rays when needed for a thorough evaluation
- Share tips to improve brushing and flossing at home
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and lowers the risk of cavities. After a cleaning, we may apply a safe fluoride treatment to protect your child’s teeth—typically recommended every six months.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They block out bacteria and food particles from deep grooves that are harder to clean—an excellent option for children still learning proper brushing techniques.
When Dental Emergencies Happen
Emergency Pediatric Dentistry Services
When unexpected dental problems occur, our team is ready to provide quick, compassionate care for your child. Whether it’s a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a broken filling, or a gum injury, we handle a wide range of pediatric dental emergencies. If your child is experiencing urgent dental needs, contact us immediately—we’ll ensure they receive the relief and treatment they need without delay.
Is It Time for Braces?
Early Orthodontic Screenings Overview
Evaluating orthodontic needs early allows us to identify and address potential issues before braces may be required. By age 7, we recommend an exam to assess bite alignment and jaw development. Detecting concerns early can simplify treatment, minimize future complications, and sometimes reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic care later on.
