Pediatric Dentistry

Good oral health starts with preventative care. We offer the following services to keep your child’s teeth healthy:

Pediatric Dental Exams & Cleanings

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

• Gently clean and polish their teeth
• Check for tooth decay, gum issues, and bite alignment
• Take digital X-rays if needed for a complete evaluation
• Provide personalized tips for at-home oral care

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and prevents cavities. We apply a safe, painless fluoride treatment after cleanings to protect your child's teeth. Sodium fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral and is used to remineralize and strengthen tooth structure. This is important for the enamel in children’s teeth to prevent cavities. It also helps stop the cavity-causing bacteria from growing in your child’s mouth. It is applied directly onto teeth every 6 months and a great treatment to keep your child’s teeth happy and healthy.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the back teeth to help prevent cavities. They are especially beneficial for children who are prone to cavities or have difficulty brushing their molars. There are deep grooves on these back molars where the enamel naturally isn’t sealed all of the way. When we place the sealant, it makes it so it is very easy to keep the back teeth clean and prevent cavities from forming in those deep 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 oral care fun – Let kids choose a fun toothbrush and play music while they brush.
• Lead by example – Brush and floss together to create lifelong habits.
• Schedule regular checkups – Visit the dentist every six months for cleanings and exams.
