Pediatric dentistry specializes in providing dental care for children and focuses on creating a positive experience for children in a dental setting. In addition to teaching lifelong dental habits for a healthy smile, early dental care is important to take care of your child’s teeth because they aid in speech development, assist with eating and digestion, and help maintain space for permanent teeth.

Comprehensive Oral Evaluation / Digital Radiographs

An oral evaluation is recommended every six (6) months to prevent cavities and other dental problems. Digital imaging is a valuable diagnostic tool used to identify decay, extra teeth, bone defects, tumors, cysts and check the progress of previous procedures.

Cleaning Image

Cleaning

Regular cleanings help keep gums healthy and teeth cavity-free. A dental cleaning includes removal of tartar and plaque and polishing of the teeth to remove stains and prevent further buildup of plaque.

Dental Sealants Image

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are made of a safe resin material which is applied to the surfaces of teeth (commonly permanent molars) to prevent cavities. The sealant material fills in the crevices of a tooth and “seals” off the tooth from cavity-causing agents like food and plaque. The teeth are prepared for the sealant application and the sealant is painted directly onto the chewing surface of each tooth and then hardens. Sealants are applied in one visit.

Flouride Treatment

Flouride Treatment

Fluoride is a natural substance that helps strengthen teeth and prevent decay. Fluoride treatments are administered at this office as an important component of pediatric dental treatment. The fluoride is applied to the teeth in a gel, foam, or varnish form.

Mouth Guards Image

Mouth Guards

Custom-fitted mouth guards from your dentist are preferable to cheaper products available from a store. Many school athletic programs require participants to wear a mouth guard. Athletes who are wearing braces will particularly benefit from a custom-fitted mouthguard.

Interceptive

Interceptive Orthodontics

Interceptive Orthodontics represents a proactive approach in the field of dental care, focusing on early detection and treatment of malocclusions and dental irregularities in children. This preventive strategy aims to identify and address orthodontic issues at a young age, potentially reducing the need for more extensive orthodontic treatments later in life. By intervening at an optimal time during a child’s growth and development, Interceptive Orthodontics can guide the proper alignment of teeth, ensure adequate space for emerging permanent teeth, and help in the correct development of the jaw. This approach not only contributes to the aesthetic appearance of a child’s smile but also promotes better oral health and function, laying a solid foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth.
