Children’s Checkups & Cleanings
Regular dental checkups and cleanings performed every six months are meant to provide your child with the care and attention needed to maintain a healthier smile. Our dentists will carefully check for any tooth decay, cavities, bite misalignment, damage, or gum disease before one of our dental hygienists removes plaque and tartar from their teeth and gumline. This process not only provides a more thorough approach to preventive dental care but also promotes optimal oral health year-round.
Dental Sealants
As children hone their brushing skills over time, reaching teeth toward the back of the mouth will become less difficult. In the meantime, however, it’s important that these molars and premolars remain protected from harmful bacteria and food debris. This is why we offer dental sealants – clear coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Since these contain small crevices that can easily trap bacteria, dental sealants will serve as a barrier, keeping smiles properly safeguarded for up to a decade.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are highly recommended for children, especially those who are prone to developing cavities. In these early years, keeping teeth better protected against decay is essential if permanent teeth are to have a healthy start when they erupt. By applying additional fluoride during a regular checkup, our dentists can shield tooth enamel from the effects of bad bacteria while also strengthening this outer layer.
Mouthguards/Sportsguards
If you have an athletic child who enjoys playing sports, having a custom mouthguard made to protect their smile is one of the best investments you will make. These unique appliances are crafted with absorbency and comfort in mind so that your child will not be tempted to take theirs out during a game or match. If they sustain a hard hit at any point, the mouthguard will reduce the potential for a serious injury, like a knocked-out, broken, or fractured tooth.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer may not be as prevalent in children as it is among adults; however, our dentists prefer to take additional precautions and make sure your child’s mouth and facial structures are free of any concerning abnormalities. This is why we incorporate oral cancer screenings into regular dental checkups and cleanings. By quickly examining areas of the mouth, throat, and face, we can detect any early signs and get your child the help they need right away.
