Thanks to our kid-friendly activities and our approach to dentistry, your child will enjoy their dental visit! Parents are welcomed to accompany their children into the exam rooms where our dentists are ready to share helpful advice so your family can work on improved dental hygiene together.
Your child will get their set of baby teeth around the first six months of their life. Taking care of these baby teeth from a young age is vital to them having healthier teeth as they grow older. While your baby might not be old enough to start developing their own healthy habits yet, as they grow to become a toddler and young child, teaching them about good healthy dental habits is essential to the growth and development of strong gums and teeth.
The reason why you may consider a fluoride treatment is because if you’re losing fluoride quicker than you are taking it in, you’re likely going to be at risk for tooth decay. Fluoride works to help prevent tooth decay by defending against acid attacks caused by sugars and plaque bacteria in your mouth. Fluoride can also reverse tooth decay.
Digital X-rays offer countless improvements over the results of traditional X-rays. After the sensor has taken an image of your teeth, it is instantly projected onto the office screen where your dentist can view it.
Our office offers emergency dental services any time day or night. However, knowing when to call 911 or when to come straight to your dentist will take your parental instincts. Consider what happened and what pain/symptoms your child is experiencing to make the right decision.
Your dentist will have professional tools and specialized knowledge, meaning they will look for things you may not know about or be able to see without a good light and tools in hand. A dentist will be able to check for early signs of decay, and the hygienist will also give a deeper cleaning than at-home brushing allows for.
Back-to-school time means many new things will be added to your to-do list, but one thing you’ll want to check off if your child’s back-to-school dental examination. At your child’s back-to-school dental exam, your dentist will be checking over your child’s mouth entirely to ensure everything is lining up correctly and growing in healthy. This exam will ultimately help your child avoid misalignment, cavities, and other dental problems that could grow more severe.
Dental sealants are used to protect the chewing surface of teeth from decay. They are used on the surface of the permanent back teeth, the premolars and molars, to help protect these teeth from decay that will occur from chewing and eating food regularly.
If your child damages a tooth, a dental restoration may be used to restore their smile. Dental bonding and dental crowns are the two most common kinds of dental restorations. Bonding is used for minor chips and cracks while crowns are used when a good deal of the tooth’s enamel is missing, like with a tooth infection or decay.
If your child plays any kind of sport where a mouthguard is recommended or required, it’s suggested that you talk with a dentist about getting a mouthguard custom formed to their teeth. With advanced tools and technology to fit a mouthguard to their teeth, your dentist will be able to make one that is comfortable, form-fitting, and stays in place.
