How To Know If Your Child Is at Risk?

Oral healthcare in children is one of the biggest challenges for parents.

It is hard for parents to make sure their children brush properly and maintain good oral health habits. If issues do arise, children often do not know to tell their parents until the issues progress.

Sometimes they might not know to tell parents about issues, or they might even be anxious about going to the dentist.

It might seem natural to have less concern over children’s oral health issues because they will lose their baby teeth anyway.

The reality is failing to maintain proper oral health in children can be very costly to children, both in the present and their future.

Pediatric Dental Treatments

We offer a variety of dental treatments offered to prevent tooth decay in children, or to save or repair teeth.

TOPICAL FLUORIDE

Cavities form when there is a weakening in the mineral composition of the outer layer of your teeth. Fluoride promotes the remineralization of these decalcified spots, therefore helping to prevent cavities. Our team will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and discuss with the family in order to prescribe the specific amount of fluoride that your child needs.

DENTAL SEALANTS

A plastic coating can be professionally applied to prevent cavities by sealing the chewing surfaces. Dental sealants are easy to apply and provide years of protection.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Sometimes children need root canals to save an injured or severely decayed tooth.

BONDING

Chips and minor fractures to front teeth — common childhood occurrences — can be repaired with tooth-colored bonding materials.

CROWNS

Sometimes dental cavities are larger than what a traditional filling can repair. We have zirconia (white) and stainless steel crown options for the restorative needs of our patients.

TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS

Tooth-colored fillings are used to restore front or back teeth or where cosmetic appearance is important. The shade of the composite restorative material is matched as closely as possible to the color of the natural teeth.

And so much more!
