Your child should have a comprehensive dental examination every 6 months, which includes a thorough exam of the teeth and gums. We use the findings from our examination to formulate a complete diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plan for your child.

Dental Hygiene is crucial to your overall health. We recommend our patients visit our office twice a year to ensure their optimal oral health and to avoid serious and costly issues in the future. During a routine cleaning, the hygienist will scale and polish your teeth, provide fluoride treatment, take necessary x-rays and provide oral hygiene instructions.

Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings which are usually applied to the chewing surfaces of the first adult molars between ages 6 to 9 years old and primary molars. The purpose of a sealant is to prevent decay. Most tooth decay in children and teens occur in the pits and fissures of chewing surfaces. By placing a sealant over these pits and fissures, the probability of a cavity forming on that tooth significantly decreases.

If a cavity develops, our dentist will remove the decay andfill the tooth using a variety of fillings, restoring the tooth to a healthy state.

It’s time for root canal treatment if your child has one or more symptom of toothache such as fever, pain in gum and tooth.

Nerve damage can result from severe decay and may require a crown (a crown is like a large filling that can cap a tooth, making it stronger or covering it).

This treatment usually begins around age eight or nine. The goal of early treatment is to correct the growth of the jaw and certain bite problems, such as underbite. Early treatment also helps to make room for permanent teeth to come in properly, lessening the chance of extractions in the future.
