Just as for adults, dental check-ups and cleanings for kids are important. Our friendly dental team will ensure your child's teeth and gums are clean and healthy. We also examine their mouth and any necessary x-rays to catch any potential toothy troubles early. These visits are a great time to chat about what to expect as your child's smile grows, including tips for oral care at home and food choices that can help keep their teeth strong and bright.
Digital x-rays, a quick and efficient method for capturing images of your child's dental health, are used only when deemed necessary by the dentist. Our state-of-the-art digital x-ray system will help give us a detailed and accurate assessment of your child's dental status.
Dental sealants are like invisible tooth protectors! We paint a clear, safe resin on your child's teeth that hardens under a special light. It acts like a shield, keeping away cavity-causing bacteria and food particles. This treatment is especially great for back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form.
Building a strong foundation for healthy oral habits will establish your child's dental routine for their entire lives. With our educational, compassionate care, we are here to give your child the guidance they need to have healthy dental hygiene that will stick with them for a lifetime.
Fluoride treatments offer a simple, non-invasive way to prevent dental decay. After your child's cleaning, a fluoride-rich gel or varnish is applied, followed by a short period of no eating or drinking. Fluoride initiates a process called “remineralization,” strengthening teeth with essential minerals.
In dental emergencies involving children, acting swiftly is vital. Quick and appropriate care is essential not only for their recovery but also for alleviating their pain and discomfort. Be it a toothache, a broken or chipped tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, rest assured we are prepared to assist. Uncertain whether your child's situation qualifies as an emergency? Please don't delay in contacting us. Our experienced team is ready to evaluate the urgency, provide immediate guidance for care at home, and arrange a prompt appointment. We're dedicated to helping your child return to their joyful, worry-free self as soon as possible.
Is your child having trouble staying still at the dentist? Do they get anxious about dental visits? We have a solution: sedation options. Our sedation methods can help calm restlessness and anxiety, making sure your child gets the dental care they need without fear or stress. This helps your child stay calm and comfortable and starts building a positive attitude towards dental care and oral health. If you think sedation might help your child, let us know. We'll help you find the right option for them.
