Preventive Services

As a family dental practice, we emphasize preventive care. We want to protect your smiles and teach you what you can do to keep your teeth healthy for life. Your child’s oral care routine should include daily brushing and flossing as well as regular dental checkups. Professional cleanings remove harmful bacteria along with plaque and tartar buildup. We also examine your kids’ mouths to find any problems as early as possible. Your child’s dentist may also recommend dental sealants or fluoride treatments for additional protection against cavities.

Mouthguards & Orthodontics

Your kids need the right equipment to play sports. That should include mouthguards. The best protection comes from custom mouthguards, which you can get from us. They are smaller and more comfortable to wear than store-bought mouthguards, too.

You’ll also find different orthodontic solutions. We offer Invisalign, metal braces, and clear ceramic braces. Plus, AcceleDent can get your teen’s smile where they want it to be in less time. You can take some of the stress out of orthodontic treatment by letting us create a payment plan that works for you.

Common Questions About Pediatric Dentistry

What is pediatric dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is oral health care specifically catered to children from infancy through their teens. It includes routine cleanings and exams, as well as risk assessment for dental complications, special counseling about nutrition and thumb-sucking habits for better oral health, and care for injured, knocked-out, or decayed teeth and pediatric periodontal disease.

 

Why is pediatric dentistry important?

Baby teeth need proper care, too. Without it, your child could face a lifetime of dental problems. A children’s dentist can treat cavities and other issues while they’re small so they don’t lead to complications down the road. We can monitor their oral health and make sure their teeth and bite are developing properly as they grow.

When should my child first visit the dentist?

We treat children ages 3 and older. It’s important that your child feels comfortable about visiting the dentist, so we maintain a kid-friendly atmosphere including a play area and a prize box. We want their experiences with us to be positive from an early age! We’ll provide preventive care, closely monitor their dental development, and help with issues like pacifier use and thumb sucking.

 

When do baby teeth fall out?

Baby teeth typically start falling out around the age of 6 or 7. This process continues until around the age of 12 or 13 when all permanent teeth typically replace the baby teeth. However, every child is unique, and the timing may vary. Remember, it’s important to care for baby teeth as they play a vital role in speech development, chewing, and guiding permanent teeth. Regular dental check-ups can ensure healthy transitions and proper oral care.
