Children’s Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Similar to the dental checkups and cleanings we provide to adults, those geared toward younger patients also include a thorough examination of their teeth and gums so that any decay and cavities can be easily detected. We also remove any plaque and tartar from their teeth to reduce the chances of gum disease as well as go over fun and enjoyable ways to properly brush and floss at home. This approach allows us to build positive relationships with children, which can make receiving dental care easier over time.
Fluoride Alternative
If you’re looking for a safe, gentle, and proven fluoride alternative for your child, our practice has got you covered. This natural remineralization treatment can greatly fortify your child’s enamel, meaning that in between dental visits, their smile will have adequate protection from troublesome cavities and hidden areas of decay.
Dental Sealants
The chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth can often be missed while brushing, especially since they’re often hard to reach. However, with dental sealants, we can reduce the chances of plaque and other food particles from adhering and causing cavities to form. The plastic coating placed over the pits and grooves of these teeth creates a barrier of protection against harmful bacteria so that your little one’s teeth remain healthy for up to 10 years.
Pulp Treatment
When the pulp of your child’s tooth, which is the inner layer, becomes infected, they may complain of significant pain. Our team can ease the discomfort and keep their natural tooth firmly in place with the help of pulp treatment. By entering the tooth and removing most or all of the pulp, we can eliminate the infection, prevent extraction, and allow your child to continue using their regular teeth to eat, speak, and smile.
Frenectomies/Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment
The proper mobility of the tongue is incredibly important in proper growth and development of our children. In infants, tongues and lips that are too tightly bound negatively impact nursing or bottle feeding, and can cause air intake that leads to gastric distress for the infant.
Tongues that are too tightly bound in children affect speech, impact swallowing and can prevent the upper and lower jaws from developing properly leading to crowded teeth and a narrow airway that affects sleep. Children that don’t sleep well can display symptoms of ADD, hyperactivity, and it can affect learning and neural development. In the most crucial and formative parts of children’s lives, restrictive ties can significantly affect their well-being
