Pediatric Dental Services

Pediatric Dental Information

While we have the resources to treat even the most difficult pediatric dental complications, we would much rather prevent them from occurring. Our services are focused on educating children and families to develop healthy habits and prevent tooth decay, but when needed, we have the ability to repair and restore your child’s smile. We generally see patients every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings, unless your pediatric dentist recommends an alternative treatment plan.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends patients see their dentist by the age of 1, or shortly after their first tooth erupts. However, it’s never too early or too late to schedule a visit. Contact us today to put your child on a path toward a lifetime of excellent oral health.

Many of our service offerings have been established to ensure the highest quality of care and safety for your child. For example:

• Our digital x-rays use 80-90% less radiation than traditional x-rays, which means greater safety for your child. In addition, our digital imaging capabilities are captured quickly and ensure a higher quality image to facilitate proper diagnoses.
• Our white, metal-free fillings are mercury-free and provide a better structural and aesthetic result.
• Our dental sealants can preserve your child’s teeth by protecting against cavities and acting as a barrier from food and bacteria.
• Tooth extractions are only performed when removing a tooth is the best option for restoring the health of a patient’s mouth.
• During operative appointments, nitrous oxide is often administered so that patients may remain conscious and responsive throughout their procedure while eliminating nervousness and worry during the visit. It is one of the safest sedatives in dentistry, is completely non-addictive, and is quickly eliminated from the body through normal breathing.
