Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids
Our team is happy to see children for routine preventive care, like checkups and cleanings. During these visits, we’ll capture X-rays of their mouth and conduct a full examination of their teeth and gums for signs of common oral health problems like cavities. If we do spot anything, we’ll work quickly to treat it before it has a chance to progress. Finally, we’ll thoroughly clear away all plaque and tartar from the surface of their teeth and polish and floss their smile.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are clear coatings that we can brush across the biting surface of your child’s molars to keep food debris and particles from accumulating in the pits and grooves of them, leading to decay. The process only takes a few minutes, and once the coating is placed, we’ll harden it with a UV light to ensure they continue protecting your little one’s teeth for years to come.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is naturally produced by rocks and found in the air and fresh fruits and vegetables. Due to its enamel strengthening properties, it’s also added to oral hygiene products like toothpaste. When applied to teeth, fluoride is able to remineralize the enamel, helping to protect them from harmful oral bacteria that can erode and attack the more vulnerable layers beneath the enamel. To help protect your child’s smile from cavities, we can simply place a fluoridated varnish on their teeth after their cleaning!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Cavities are among the most common oral health problems children experience. Fortunately, with modern advancements, our team is able to treat them without drawing attention to your little one’s damaged teeth. Using a biocompatible material that’s able to fuse with their tooth’s enamel, we can fill the decayed portion of the tooth to restore its structure. The best part is that nobody will be able to tell which of their teeth has a filling!
Athletic Mouthguards
According to the American Dental Association, 10 to 20 percent of all unintentional sports-related injuries to children and adolescents are oral and maxillofacial, solidifying that a mouthguard is an essential piece of protective equipment on the field or court. To keep your child’s smile intact and prevent a visit to your emergency dentist, we encourage you to invest in a specially fitted guard to protect their teeth and facial muscles.
