Different Dental Services Available to Children

Our dental clinic offers a range of dental services for children:

1. Routine Check-ups and Cleanings- Regular exams and cleanings are essential to monitor and maintain children’s dental health. These visits help detect and prevent dental issues early on.
2. Fluoride Treatments - Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel, making teeth more decay-resistant. This quick and painless procedure helps prevent cavities.
3. Sealants - Dental sealants act as barriers applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped and causing tooth decay.
4. Restorative Services - This includes fillings, crowns, and other treatments to repair damaged or decayed teeth. They help recover the function and appearance of children’s teeth.
5. Emergency Dental Care - Immediate care is available for dental injuries or severe pain, ensuring prompt treatment to alleviate discomfort and address urgent issues.
6. Sedation Dentistry - Sedation options are available to help children feel comfortable and relaxed during dental procedures. This is especially useful for anxious patients or those undergoing extensive treatments.
7. Orthodontic Treatment - Early orthodontic treatment and cosmetic dentistry options, such as Invisalign First, are available for children. These treatments can help correct dental issues early and make the process enjoyable with fun facts about orthodontics for kids.

What to expect at your Child’s Dental Appointment

• The staff will greet you and your child, introduce themselves, and explain what will happen during the visit. This helps create a friendly, comfortable atmosphere for your child.
• The clinical team will discuss your child’s medical and dental history
• They will take X-rays if the child allows us to do so in their mouth and if they are required (might depend on their age).
• The dentist will also examine your child's teeth, gums, and oral tissues. They may count teeth, check for cavities, and assess oral development. If necessary, the dentist or hygienist will clean your child's teeth, removing plaque and tartar. They might also apply fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel.
• If any issues are found, the dentist will explain them and discuss treatment options. They'll create a plan tailored to your child's needs. Before you leave, you'll schedule the next check-up, typically in six months.
• The hygienist or dental assistant will provide some helpful tips to encourage good oral hygiene habits at home. Continuing these at home will ensure lifelong oral health as your child grows into adulthood.
