Pediatric Dental Services We Offer

  1. First Dental Visit:
    • Infant Oral Care: We recommend scheduling a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday. This visit helps establish a dental home and allows us to assess the child’s oral health early.
    • Parental Guidance: During the first visit, we provide parents with tips on brushing, teething, and managing habits like thumb sucking and pacifier use.
  2. Regular Checkups and Cleanings:
    • Routine Examinations: Regular dental checkups every six months help monitor your child’s oral health, identify any issues early, and ensure proper development.
    • Professional Cleanings: Our gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar, preventing cavities and gum disease. We also offer fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel.
  3. Dental Sealants:
    • Cavity Prevention: Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, preventing cavities by sealing out food particles and bacteria.
  4. Fluoride Treatments:
    • Strengthening Teeth: Fluoride treatments help remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. This is especially important for children with developing teeth.
  5. Fillings and Restorations:
    • Treating Cavities: If your child develops a cavity, we use tooth-colored fillings to restore the tooth’s function and appearance while maintaining a natural look.
  6. Orthodontic Evaluations:
    • Early Assessment: We assess the alignment of your child’s teeth and jaw development. Early detection of orthodontic issues allows for timely intervention, often making treatment simpler and more effective.
  7. Emergency Dental Care:
    • Urgent Treatment: Accidents happen, and we provide prompt, compassionate care for dental emergencies such as chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, and toothaches.
