Kid’s Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for keeping your child’s smile healthy and strong. At our practice, we strive to create a fun, welcoming environment where kids feel at ease during every visit. During checkups, we carefully examine your child’s teeth, gums, and bite to catch any issues early. As for the cleaning portion of the appointment, your child can expect us to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup on their teeth, to help prevent cavities and gum problems. These visits also give us the chance to teach kids good brushing and flossing habits that last a lifetime.
Habit Guidance & Correction
Early guidance and gentle correction help children overcome habits like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting, which can negatively affect teeth alignment, speech, and jaw development if they continue beyond the age of 3-4. Using positive reinforcement, monitoring, a removable appliance (if necessary), and professional support, we can encourage healthier oral patterns, protecting a child’s smile and fostering proper growth for long-term dental health.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a quick, painless, and effective way to protect your child’s molars from decay, according to the AAPD and ADA. We can apply these thin, protective coatings to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth—where cavities tend to form most often, due to their grooved and pitted surfaces. These sealants act as a barrier that keeps out food particles and cavity-causing bacteria, making brushing more effective and helping children of all ages maintain healthier teeth. These sealants can last for years with proper care.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our tooth-colored fillings are a safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing way to treat cavities in children, both in the baby teeth as well as the permanent ones. Made from durable, safe materials, these fillings are designed to blend in seamlessly with your child’s natural tooth color, with no metal or silver appearance at all. Tooth-colored fillings not only restore the strength and function of your child’s tooth but also help maintain a confident, natural-looking smile.
