Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids
During your child’s initial visits, our goal is to help them feel comfortable in the dental chair. Once they’re settled, we’ll perform a gentle exam to check for any concerns and follow up with a light cleaning to remove plaque and tartar missed during daily brushing. These regular visits build familiarity and help reinforce healthy hygiene habits early on.
Dental Sealants
Some teeth—especially molars—have deep grooves that can trap food and bacteria, making them more vulnerable to cavities. Sealants are a protective resin coating applied to these back teeth to reduce the risk of decay. They’re especially helpful during the early years when kids are still learning proper brushing techniques.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a simple yet effective way to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. We recommend fluoride applications during your child’s checkups—usually two to four times per year, depending on their cavity risk. The treatment is quick, painless, and provides an added layer of protection between visits.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If your child develops a cavity, there’s no need to use silver fillings. Instead, we use composite resin that’s color-matched to their natural tooth, offering a strong, discreet solution. Tooth-colored fillings are minimally invasive and help preserve more of the healthy tooth structure.
Athletic Mouthguards
If your child plays sports, a well-made mouthguard is essential to protect their smile. Instead of buying an over-the-counter option that may not fit properly, we can create a custom mouthguard designed specifically for your child’s bite. It’s more comfortable, more protective, and helps reduce the risk of dental injuries during play.
