Kids First Pediatric Dentistry

Dental Examination
As a parent, you want your child's dental visit to be a positive experience. Perhaps your child has been to the dentist before and had a bad experience. You may wonder how your toddler can survive a dental exam if he or she won't even let you near their mouth with a toothbrush. Perhaps you have your own fears about the dentist, and now your preteen is showing those same anxieties. Even though it may be tempting to skip your child's next dental...

X-rays
Pediatric dentists are particularly careful to minimize the exposure of child patients to radiation. With contemporary safeguards, the amount of radiation received in a dental X-ray examination is extremely small. In fact, dental X-rays represent a far smaller risk than undetected and untreated dental problems. Lead body aprons and shields help protect your child. Today’s equipment filters out unnecessary X-rays and restricts the X-ray beam to the area of interest. High-speed film, digital X-rays, and proper shielding assure that your child receives a minimal amount of radiation exposure.

Teeth Cleaning
At the first visit, we suggest you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We can usually establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Although, we do understand that all children are different. We promise to work with parents to create the best visit outcome as possible. Our main goal is to gain your child’s confidence and overcome apprehension. However, if you choose to, you are more than welcome to accompany your child to the hygiene bay for their dental cleaning. We pride ourselves on making each appointment end on a positive note. We can’t wait to meet you!

Dental Sealants
A dental sealant creates a highly effective barrier against decay. Sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of a child’s permanent back teeth, where most cavities form. Sealants help “seal out” food and plaque, and reduces the risk of decay. Applying a sealant is an easy procedure and can be performed in one dental visit. Teeth are first cleaned, then conditioned and dried. Once the sealant is applied it flows into the grooves of the tooth, and is then hardened with a special light. Your child will be able to eat right after the appointment.

Crowns
For permanent teeth: if possible find the lost tooth, if possible. Handle the tooth only by the crown, never by the root. If tooth is dirty, rinse only with water—DO NOT use soap or scrub the tooth. If possible, replace the tooth into the socket and have the child hold the tooth in place by gently biting on a gauze pad or washcloth. If it is not possible to hold the tooth in place, place the tooth in a cup of milk or cool water. Go to the dentist immediately. Time is a critical factor in saving the tooth and seeing a dentist within 30 minutes is best.

Tooth Extractions
It’s never too early to keep an eye on your child’s oral development. Malocclusions – crowded or crooked teeth – can often be recognized as early as 2-3 years of age. Early orthodontic treatment can prevent more extensive treatment later. Early orthodontics can enhance your child’s smile, but the benefits far surpass appearance. Pediatric orthodontics can straighten crooked teeth, guide erupting teeth into position, correct bite problems, and even prevent the need for tooth extractions.

Orthodontics
Braces can help create a straight, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. Ideally, any corrections to the bite, jaw, or mouth structure should be performed during adolescence while the mouth is still forming. Here is what you need to know before your child begins treatment with braces. Does My Child Need Braces? You might be wondering if your child is a good candidate for orthodontics, and that is a decision made in partnership with your...

General Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children. It is important to understand the differences between pediatric dentistry and general dentistry, and what pediatric dentists can do to make sure your child's teeth and gums remain healthy. Good oral health is essential for overall health and development. As children grow, their teeth and gums go through many changes. This is why it is important to visit a...
