Kid’s Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Like adults, we see kids for regular dental visits every six months. Each session lets us check your child’s mouth for issues and clean the plaque from their teeth. Along with our provided oral hygiene tips, we’ll also use these appointments to educate them on how to look after their teeth at home and in school.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
We’ll suggest silver diamine fluoride when a child has cavities. Unlike the usual kind, this liquid kills bad oral bacteria and re-mineralizes enamel at the same time. That means it slows down your youngster’s tooth decay, stopping their cavities from getting worse.
Dental Sealants
Kids prone to tooth decay would benefit from our dental sealants. In essence, these thin, plastic coatings would protect your child’s back teeth from bad bacteria. They blend seamlessly with the rest of the smile, reduce their risk of cavities, and last for four to eight years.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
If your child plays sports at school or local leagues, you'll want to invest in one of our athletic mouthguards/sportsguards. This durable, cushioning device would protect your kid from dental injuries like chips, cracks, and knocked-out teeth. That way, they could play their games with full confidence that their smile is secured.
Pulp Treatment
Since kids lack well-developed immune systems, they’re at a higher risk of tooth infections. The good news is that we can treat your child’s infected tooth with a quality pulp treatment. By removing infected pulp, this service saves (and stabilizes) a baby tooth until it’s ready to fall out naturally.
Common Questions About Finding a Family Dentist
What should I look for in a family dentist?
It’s important to find the right family dentist for your loved ones. First, you should look for a dental office willing to treat every member of your family. You also need a dentist who has the skills and experience to care for a wide variety of dental problems. Ideally, you should also find one that can handle several appointments at once. Extended hours can help you more easily schedule appointments after work or school. Having a good family dentist is as important as having a good family doctor or other professional.
Why should I go to a family dentist?
Your family’s smile care will be simpler when you have a single dental office everyone can visit. You won’t have to make multiple phone calls to get appointments for every family member. At our office, we simplify things so you can schedule everyone at once. Also, all your dental records will be in the same practice. That way, if you ever move, it’s easy to have them transferred.
What services does family dentistry include?
From the moment your kids have teeth, they can benefit from cleanings and exams to prevent decay and detect gum infections in the early stages. From our perspective, family care starts with getting to know you and your loved ones. We learn about your individual needs and your oral health history so we can provide the services needed to keep your mouths healthy. You’ll find services for your oral care needs at every stage in life, from young to old.
