Gentle & Attentive Children's Dentistry
We welcome children, and we're happy to help your young ones maintain their teeth and healthy teeth cleaning habits. In most cases, we'll gently examine your child's teeth and gums, occasionally take X-rays, clean their teeth and apply topical fluoride to help protect against decay. We'll make sure your child is receiving adequate fluoride at home and review how to clean and care for your child's teeth. Our team can relieve any anxiety they may be feeling. Call us today to schedule an appointment!
Your child's first visit
Parents often wonder how they should best prepare their kids for a first-time visit to the dentist. The following tips are great ways to introduce your children to what a dentist does and help take away any anxiety they might be feeling. Here are some "First Visit" tips:
- Bring your child for a "preview" of the office.
- Read books with them about going to the dentist.
- Review with them what the dentist will be doing at the first visit.
- Speak positively about your own dental experiences
If you have any further questions regarding this, please give us a call.
Preventative care
Tooth decay and children no longer have to go hand in hand. At our office, we are very concerned with all aspects of preventive care. We use the latest sealant technology to protect your child's teeth. These sealants bond to the chewing surfaces of decay-prone back teeth and ensure a healthy bite. We also encourage limiting sugar intake and brushing regularly. Contact us today for more information about keeping your kid's teeth healthy at home!
Baby teeth
Baby teeth are essential because they hold space for permanent teeth and are essential for chewing, biting, speech, and appearance; for these reasons, it is necessary to maintain a healthy diet and daily hygiene. Good preventative care also includes regular dental visits with our hygienists and exams by our fully licensed dentists.
