What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Dental Cleanings

Keeping your teeth healthy and clean requires more than diligent brushing and flossing at home. In many cases, plaque will build upon different areas of the teeth.

Cavity Prevention

Dental cleanings remove plaque in hard-to-reach areas, helping to stop cavities before they develop.

Gum Health

Regular cleanings reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease, keeping your gums strong and healthy.

Brighter Smile

Cleanings eliminate surface stains and restore the natural shine of your teeth, enhancing your smile.

Overall Wellness

Good oral care not only keeps your teeth and gums healthy, but can also help reduce the risk of systemic conditions, such as heart disease, supporting your overall wellness.

Dental Emergencies

Even with excellent oral care, dental emergencies can happen. Seeking care right away can help your child feel better and keep their teeth healthy.

Immediate Relief

Dental Fillings

A dental filling is a restoration used to repair specific areas of a tooth’s surface that may have become damaged or decayed.

Stopping Decay

Fillings treat cavities by removing decay and sealing the tooth to prevent further damage.

Restoring Strength

A filling reinforces the tooth structure, allowing you to bite and chew with confidence.

Natural Appearance

Modern fillings blend with the natural color of your teeth for a seamless look.

Long-Term Protection

With proper care, dental fillings provide durable protection and extend the life of your teeth.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin, clear coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They help protect teeth by preventing cavities and reducing the risk of deep staining.

Cavity Prevention

Sealants create a protective barrier that keeps food and bacteria from settling into grooves of the back teeth.

Long-Lasting Protection

With proper care, sealants can protect teeth for several years, reducing the risk of decay.

Quick and Painless

The application process is fast, comfortable, and requires no drilling or anesthesia.

Ideal for Children

Sealants are especially beneficial for kids, safeguarding their molars during cavity-prone years.

Dental X-rays

A dental x-ray is an image that enables us to see inside the tooth, as well as below the gumline. These images can help us spot early signs of decay, trauma, or infection.

Early Detection

X-rays reveal cavities, decay, and other issues before they become visible to the eye.

Precise Diagnosis

They provide detailed images that guide accurate treatment planning and care.

Monitoring Growth

X-rays help track tooth development, alignment, and jaw health over time.

Preventing Complications

By spotting hidden problems early, X-rays reduce the risk of serious dental concerns.
