Check-ups and Cleanings

One of the best ways you can set your child up for good oral health is through routine preventative care including twice yearly check-ups and cleanings. Children who are comfortable with dental visits are more likely to practice good oral hygiene at home, which translates to a healthier smile for life.

Our team makes sure that these exams are fun and educational. We always tailor these appointments based on your kid’s age and development. While our main goal is monitoring the health and development of your child’s teeth and gums, we still want to make sure the process is enjoyable so that your child looks forward to coming back.

Infant oral exams

Oral care for infants is important and should begin even before your child has his or her first tooth. You can start by wiping down their gums after feeding with a damp soft cloth. Once the first tooth erupts you can begin brushing. We recommend that you schedule your child’s first dental visit within 6 months of their first tooth erupting or by his or her first birthday.

Dental Sealants

Tooth decay is common on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth in children because those areas can be difficult to reach by inexperienced tooth-brushers. Dental sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to form a barrier against plaque buildup that can lead to cavities. The material flows into the crevices of the molars to minimize the instances of tooth decay.

Tooth-colored fillings

Even with regular check-ups and good efforts at home, sometimes kids develop cavities. It’s important to treat cavities even in primary teeth. If left untreated, these cavities can spread and damage permanent teeth below the surface. We offer safe, natural-looking tooth colored fillings which are a conservative way to restore oral health.

Habit Appliances

If your kid has a thumb sucking habit that begins to impair oral development, a custom fit habit appliance can help. Thumb sucking is normal during infancy, and according to the American Dental Association, most kids outgrow the habit by the age of four. However, if the habit continues it can impact the development of the teeth and jaw.

Habit appliances are light weight and unobtrusive. They are designed to prevent your child’s finger from touching the gums which is very efficient in helping them drop the habit.

Orthodontics

As your kids get older, he or she may require orthodontic treatment to correct misalignment and other bite issues. We have an in-house orthodontist and options such as traditional metal braces and Invisalign to give your child a healthy, straight smile.
