What are the benefits of children’s dentistry?

It’s extremely beneficial to develop good dental hygiene practices in kids as early as possible. Our dentists help:

Spot problems early!

Even though the primary teeth will eventually fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth, dental disease in early life can have an impact on long-term dental health. It is important to be sure that your child’s primary teeth stay healthy at all ages.

Develop good at-home hygiene practices.

Our team will help implement good at-home hygiene practices to protect their teeth and gums.

Ease dental anxiety at an early age.

By introducing your child to the dentist at an early age, they’re more likely to become comfortable with routine cleanings and check-ups. This can help you as a parent save money on restorative or major dental treatments in the future. We provide a calm and relaxed environment for kids of all ages to ensure their first visit is as comfortable as possible. We do this by showing them all the tools we are using and explaining procedures to them in a way that makes them feel comfortable.

If a child is abnormally nervous about their dental treatment, we do have the option of nitrous oxide that will calm them during their restorative appointment.

Dental Services For Children

Children require special attention when it comes to caring for their growing teeth and gums. To ensure your child’s teeth and overall oral health remain strong, we provide the following services:

Complimentary first appointments for children under three years of age.

With a friendly and comfortable environment, we’ll introduce your toddler to the office with a tour and introduce them to the hygienist and family dentist. In addition, we’ll discuss your child’s oral health and listen to your questions and concerns such as how to care for teeth development, diet, and overall oral health.

Regular dental check-ups

We always recommend children of all ages get regular dental checkups at least twice a year to ensure a healthy smile! During these checkups, our dental team will evaluate your child’s mouth, including teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. In addition, we’ll look for issues, such as tooth decay, cavities, fillings that need to be replaced. Then we will provide you with an assessment of your child’s oral health.

Preventive dental treatments

We take a proactive approach with preventive treatments that protect your child’s teeth and gums. When dental problems (such as gum disease and tooth decay) are discovered in the early stages, we encourage parents to be diligent about minimally-invasive treatments. Other options, such as fluoride and sealants, can be used to avoid the problem from recurring in the future.

Regular dental cleanings

Similar to dental check-ups, we recommend that your child has their teeth cleaned at least twice a year! During teeth cleanings, our hygienists will polish your child’s teeth and remove any plaque, stains, or tartar buildup— making their smiles bright and healthy.
