We are proud to provide our services to patients of all ages. While preventive care measures, like brushing and flossing, are appropriate for all ages, we do provide treatments specialized for children as well.
Pediatric Visits
Just like adults, children need to visit the dentist for checkups and cleanings every six months. This is particularly important for children, because it helps establish a healthy habit of keeping up with their oral care. If they are comfortable visiting the dentist from a young age, they are more likely to continue as they grow up. We make sure your kids are comfortable and at ease while they are here, and we also teach them the proper ways to brush and floss their teeth at home. A lifetime of good oral care habits begins at a young age.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants provide excellent protection to your child’s teeth. They are made from a thin, BPA-free acyclic that acts as a protective layer between their teeth and harmful bacteria. Sealants are applied to the molars, as this is where most chewing is done. Because they block food particles from settling into the teeth, bacteria is less likely to grow, which then limits the risk of tooth decay and the need for dental fillings down the road. It is a quick and easy service that offers years of protection for your child’s teeth
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is another procedure that provides major benefits. It strengthens tooth enamel, which is the outermost protective layer of teeth. Enamel is made up almost entirely of minerals, and is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce. That said, it can still weaken over time. Fluoride treatment helps the enamel stay strong — limiting the chances of decay and damage taking place.
