Kids Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Our children’s dental checkups and cleanings are designed to keep young smiles healthy while also creating positive experiences at every visit. During these visits, we’ll carefully examine your child’s smile, gently remove plaque, and monitor their dental growth and development. We’ll also provide you with all the guidance you need to help their smile remain strong. We also offer silver diamine fluoride treatments to help slow cavity progression.
Dental Sealants
Children’s back molars are usually more likely to get cavities due to their pitted and grooved surfaces. Made from biocompatible, tooth-colored resin, dental sealants can be placed over these teeth to help block out cavity-causing debris and bacteria from settling in them.
Athletic Mouthguards/Sportsguards
Dental injuries are far more likely to occur during sports and outdoor activities, meaning that a mouthguard is one of the wisest investments you can make in your child’s smile. At our office, we can provide them with a custom-made sportsguard that shields their smile from unforeseen disasters.
Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment
Tongue and lip tie treatment can improve your child’s ability to nurse, speak, and maintain proper oral development. At our office, we offer treatments designed to restore healthy oral function that helps keep your child comfortable.
Pulp Treatment
Pulp treatment can be used to help a child’s tooth when decay or injury reaches the inner nerve tissue. The damaged/diseased tissues can be removed and the tooth can be restored to support healthy dental development.
Special Needs Dentistry
Our special needs dentistry services are designed to provide compassionate, individualized care for children with physical, developmental, or sensory challenges. We strive to create a calm, supportive environment to ensure every child feels safe, comfortable, and understood.
