Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids
Once one year old, your child should start attending dental checkups and cleanings. These visits let us check for oral issues and gently remove any plaque. They also clean your little one’s teeth and gums so their mouth stays healthy. Of course, you may still have questions about your child’s oral health or treatment. We’ll work so that you stay informed if that’s the case.
Dental Sealants
Among all the notable dental issues, kids are most at risk of cavities. Children are quite likely to get them in their molars. To keep your little one safe, we can provide them with dental sealants – thin, protective coatings that shield their back teeth from harmful bacteria. These coats would greatly reduce your child’s risk of tooth decay. Plus, applying them is fairly simple and leads to years of smile protection.
Fluoride Treatments
Many children don’t get enough fluoride from their meals. As a result, their teeth are at great risk of weakening over time. Our office acts to avoid that issue with our fluoride treatment. After your child’s dental cleaning, it would apply a fluoridated gel onto their teeth. This process is quick, pain-free, and makes cavities much less likely. In fact, parents can even join in and get their own fluoride treatments if necessary.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Kids can sometimes get cavities despite your best efforts. Even so, your child doesn’t have to live with weak and decayed teeth. Our team could treat them with tooth-colored fillings that restore the affected areas. Each filling is made of composite resin, which can be shaded, molded, and bonded inside your child’s cavity. Your kiddo’s tooth would then be safe from breaking down further.
Athletic Mouthguards
Perhaps your child plays a lot of contact sports – football, soccer, basketball, etc. If so, it’s crucial that you get them protective dental gear. Many sports lead to oral injuries that chip, break, and knock out teeth. That being said, you should opt for one of our custom athletic mouthguards. Mass-produced versions aren’t as comfortable or effective. Meanwhile, an athletic mouthguard from us will keep your child’s grin very safe.
