Your Child's First Dental Visit
The first visit that your child has to the dental office is the most important because it sets the tone for all future appointments. In an effort to make sure that your child develops a positive relationship with their oral health and hygiene, our team makes sure to create a fun, educational, and comfortable environment for them. We'll also help them develop healthy at-home habits so they can avoid cavities in the future!
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
One of the most important pieces of protective gear that your child needs on the field is an athletic mouthguard. Without it, their jaw and teeth could be at risk of becoming broken or severely damaged, causing an unexpected visit to the ER or emergency dentist. We offer customized sportsguards to fit your little one's unique teeth to provide them with optimal protection so they can stay safe and concentrate on the game.
Pulp Therapy
If your child is experiencing severe pain in a tooth or swelling and redness around it, it could be a sign that the inner nerve tissue, called the pulp, has been damaged and needs to be removed. While every situation is unique, we typically recommend pulp therapy to save the tooth and avoid an extraction. This is because when a child loses a primary tooth too soon, it could result in their adult ones growing in misaligned.
Dental Sealants & Preventive Care
Some people are more prone to cavity development than others, especially younger patients who are still learning how to take care of their smiles. That's why we offer protective dental sealants to prevent the accumulation of sugars and bacteria in the grooves and pits of the molars. We'll apply a thin, clear layer of dental plastic over the biting surfaces of these at-risk teeth and harden it, allowing the sealants to act like small shields that can last for up to 10 years!
