Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids

To ward off cavities and dental decay, regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months will help to minimize your child’s chances of developing unhealthy teeth and gums. Because these smiles are ever-changing, we will do more than just check their pearly whites. We’ll also monitor the development of their bite to make sure they receive timely care should it appear orthodontics might be in their future. You can also expect us to provide your child with helpful tips to keep their smiles healthy in between appointments.
Dental Sealants

Molars can be hard for children to reach while brushing. This is why we recommend dental sealants, as they’re designed to better protect against food particles and harmful bacteria. By applying these clear, plastic coatings over the chewing surfaces, your child’s molars and premolars will remain safeguarded against anything trying to penetrate the pits and grooves of these teeth. And with proper care, they can last up to 10 years.
Tooth-Colored Fillings

When a cavity does form, there is only one option that can stop the decay in its tracks and seal the structure – a tooth-colored filling. Made of composite resin that is color-matched to your child’s regular teeth, it’s a malleable solution that fills in the decayed area (once cleaned out) and seals it to prevent reinfection or further damage. Also, because of its consistency, it does not require extensive removal of the tooth structure like traditional amalgam.
Athletic Mouthguards

Kids who play sports should always be equipped with proper protection. From helmets and knee pads to shin guards and mouthguards, parents should never withhold when it comes to ensuring optimal safety on the field. Instead of buying a one-size-fits-all brand at the local drug store, let our team provide a custom-fit athletic mouthguard that offers greater comfort and allows for effective breathing and speaking while engaging with teammates. By wearing these oral devices, your child’s teeth and gums will remain protected, allowing you both to enjoy the game.
