Children’s Checkups & Cleanings

Close monitoring of your child’s teeth and gums is important if early detection and timely treatment are to be provided. This can only be accomplished with regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months. Our team will use state-of-the-art technology to identify any signs of dental decay, cavities, or gum disease as well as evaluate bite placement and jaw development. We’ll also remove any plaque and tartar build-up and provide helpful at-home oral hygiene tips, so their smile remains healthy between appointments.
Dental Sealants

It’s normal for young children to lack the ability to brush their teeth correctly. It takes time, patience, and practice to do it right. Until they feel more confident, we can offer better protection, especially as it pertains to their molars and premolars. Erupting with various pits and grooves on the chewing surface, dental sealants can be used to prevent any bacteria from penetrating and causing cavities to form. We’ll apply a thin composite resin layer to shield the enamel over time.
Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride can be found in many different sources, including water, soil, foods, and toothpaste. Its natural properties allow it to fight off tooth decay as well as strengthen and remineralize existing enamel. As a result, smiles of all types and ages can benefit from it. However, children tend to be a more common demographic for fluoride treatment simply because of their novice oral hygiene habits. With a quick and painless application during a regular dental checkup, we can protect growing smiles, which means cavities don’t stand a chance.
