Why Is Pediatric Dentistry Important?
Pediatric dentistry is an important part of caring for your child’s health. As your child’s teeth erupt, they are at risk of the same decay and damage as an adult’s smile. To ensure that primary teeth are healthy, it is essential that they are seen by a dentist early. Depending on your child’s development, their first dental appointment should take place between one to two years old.
In addition to protecting oral health, establishing regular dental care at a young age can also allow children to build a positive relationship with their dentist and dentistry in general. With good associations, they are more likely to continue these habits into adulthood. To this end, we like to use parents as an example for young children. By regularly attending check-ups yourself and allowing your children to observe your treatments, they can see that positive interaction and feel safe and comfortable in our care.
Treatments Tailored to Your Child’s Needs
In order to protect your child’s teeth from decay, we provide both sealants and fluoride treatments. Sealants are a thin, plastic coatings that can be easily and gently applied to the teeth to prevent bacteria and plaque from building up in the grooves. We typically apply sealants to molars or teeth with deep crevices that are susceptible to decay.
Fluoride treatments can also help protect against cavities by strengthening teeth through the mineralization process to rebuild tooth enamel. Our team can safely administer a fluoride treatment in just a few minutes, ensuring your child receives the appropriate dosage and optimal effects. Children may undergo fluoride treatments two to four times a year depending on their risk of developing tooth decay.
We treat our young patients with compassion and gentle techniques for better treatment experiences.
Comfort Is Our Priority
Sedation can be provided for children who are frightened to ensure that they can receive the treatment they need with as little stress as possible. We also provide general and restorative dentistry services when necessary including:
