Pediatric dental procedures differ slightly from their adult counterparts, although they are relatively similar. Children’s dentist appointments are more frequent as children’s teeth develop at a rapid rate — and it’s important their growth be monitored by a specialized dentist to ensure everything is going smoothly. Our pediatric dentistry services include several procedures that ensure proper oral health and development.
Our pediatric dentistry services including the following standard procedures:
Cavities are just a fact of life for many children. If your pediatric dentist discovers one or more, there’s no cause for panic — they can typically treat it quickly and painlessly. If your child has a cavity, it is important to have it filled and prevent further decay. There are multiple cavity filling treatments for kids, including dental sealants, tooth-colored fillings, and in rare cases, pediatric dental crowns.
Dental radiographs, or dental X-rays, are critical diagnostic tools in pediatric dentistry. They allow our dentists to see and treat problems like childhood cavities, tooth decay, misalignment, as well bone injuries and diseases before they worsen. Dental X-rays’ main uses in pediatric dentistry include assessing the amount of space for incoming teeth, checking whether primary teeth are being shed in good time for adult teeth to emerge, and planning treatment.
Certain occasions call for child tooth extraction, including:
While we emphasize regular checkups and closely monitoring your children’s tooth and gum development, we understand that, like many things regarding children, accidents happen. We care about your child’s comfort, which is why we proudly provide emergency dental work for kids. From a knocked-out tooth to objects caught in teeth, we can handle it all!
Fluoride works to prevent — and reverse — tooth decay by making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars. Additionally, a dental sealant can help preserve a child’s smile by controlling decay in certain areas of the mouth. With fluoride treatments and sealant application, our pediatric dentists can take special care of children’s teeth, strengthening them for a brighter, shinier future!
