Our practice can provide a wide range of dental services for your children; this flexibility saves you time and keeps your total dental care within one practice. We focus on total preventive care for our patients which begins with regular hygiene visits, regular check-ups and continued home oral health routines. At your child’s first visit, we will check for cavities and gum disease, observe your child’s occlusion for correct alignment of the jaws, and conduct an evaluation of the proper development of the teeth. We will also discuss any parafunctional habits, conduct a dietary consultation, and address any further questions or necessary treatments.
We provide many preventive measures to keep your child’s teeth clean and healthy, including sealants and fluoride varnish treatments. It’s important to restore the health and function of primary, or “baby”, teeth if decay is detected. Not only do primary teeth help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt. Because tooth decay is really an infection and will spread, decay on baby teeth can cause decay on permanent teeth. Proper care of baby teeth is instrumental in enhancing the health of your child.
We also educate the parents in early detection of some common problems children may face, including thumb sucking, bruxism and baby bottle tooth decay. Our primary goal for your children’s dental development is to achieve and maintain optimum oral health through advancements in techniques and technologies and by maintaining their scheduled dental exams.
