Preventative Dentistry
We recommend routine dental cleanings for several reasons. When we perform a professional cleaning, we remove the buildup of plaque and tartar. We also clean the parts of your child’s teeth that are hard to reach, such as underneath the gums. After a cleaning, we will polish your child’s teeth so that they shine! We can also apply a fluoride treatment, if necessary, to help prevent tooth decay.

We truly believe that regular dental examinations are important in order for your child to have good dental health and a smile of which he or she can be proud. We start by doing a professional cleaning, removing all of the bad tartar and other buildup on your child’s teeth. We then do an examination, looking to catch and fix any problems before they become bigger ones. We examine each tooth, looking for any signs of decay, damage, or any other problems, such as signs of infection.

One of the most commonly used types of sedation is nitrous oxide, which is also known as laughing gas. This helps many children relax during their procedure. Nitrous oxide is a combination of two different gases — oxygen and nitrous oxide. We administer the gas through a small mask placed over your child’s nose. The gas will make your child relax without the full effect of anesthesia.

We believe that fluoride works well to strengthen children’s teeth. It also has been shown to help prevent tooth decay in people of all ages. For this reason, the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association believe that topical fluoride is necessary for good oral health. Silver Diamine Fluoride is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment option.

Dental emergencies can happen at any time. Our doctors are on-call for pediatric dental emergencies. Whether your child has a toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or another dental injury, we are here to help. Please call our office immediately if your child is experiencing a dental emergency, and we will do our best to see them as quickly as possible.

Cavities are one of the most common childhood dental issues. When we detect a cavity, we will recommend a filling to restore the tooth and prevent further decay. We use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend naturally with your child’s teeth. Our gentle approach ensures your child feels comfortable throughout the procedure.

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have deep grooves and pits that are difficult to clean with a toothbrush, making them vulnerable to decay. Sealants act as a barrier, protecting the enamel from plaque and acids. They are a safe, effective way to prevent cavities in children.

Sometimes a tooth extraction is necessary to protect your child’s overall oral health. This may be needed for severely decayed teeth, teeth that are causing crowding, or baby teeth that are not falling out on their own. We take every precaution to make the procedure as comfortable as possible, using appropriate anesthesia and a gentle technique.

We are proud to offer specialized dental care for children with special healthcare needs. Our team is trained and experienced in working with patients who have physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions. We take the time to understand each child’s unique needs and tailor our approach accordingly, ensuring every child receives the compassionate care they deserve.

For children who require extensive dental treatment or who cannot be treated in a traditional office setting, we offer hospital dentistry under general anesthesia. This allows us to safely and efficiently complete all necessary dental work in one visit, minimizing stress for both the child and the family. Our doctors have extensive training in hospital-based pediatric dental care.
