During your child's regular check-up, we instruct both patient and parent on proper brushing techniques, flossing, and using mouth rinses to reduce the risk of plaque and tartar build-up, as well as cavities. We want to help build habits to ensure healthy adult mouths!
Dental Cleanings
Regular cleanings help keep gums healthy and teeth cavity-free. A dental cleaning includes removal of tartar and plaque and having the polished to remove stains and further buildups of plaque that are not removed when regular tooth brushing is performed.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural substance that helps strengthen teeth and prevent decay.. Fluoride treatments are administered at the office. It is applied to the teeth in a gel, foam or varnish form.
Dental Sealants
Sealants protect your child's teeth from decay. Sealants are placed on the biting surfaces of premolars and molars to seal the grooves and pits of the teeth. The teeth are prepped for the sealant application and the sealant is painted directly on the chewing surface of the teeth and then hardens. Sealants are applied in one visit.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Children sometimes need early stage orthodontics to correct teeth spacing or prepare the mouth for future treatment.
