Kids' Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Your child should begin attending dental checkups and cleanings at least twice a year, starting around age 2. During these appointments, we’ll not only clean their teeth and give them an exam, but we’ll also discuss the basics of oral hygiene, how diet affects the teeth, and answer any questions your child has. Dr. Brown has years of experience working with younger patients, so he’ll know how to phrase things in a way your child will understand while ensuring they stay completely comfortable from check-in to checkout.
Dental Sealants
The teeth in the back of the mouth, or molars, are often the first place children develop cavities, thanks to their uneven surfaces that trap food particles and their location that makes them somewhat difficult for little hands to brush adequately. While your child is forming their oral hygiene habits, we can protect these vulnerable teeth by placing a thin layer of dental plastic over them. This will shield the enamel from harmful plaque and bacteria, preventing decay from ever starting.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is beneficial for patients at any age, but especially children with developing teeth, as they are still learning how to brush, and young enamel is notably softer compared to the adult version. This means they’re more likely to develop decay, but a fluoride treatment at your child’s regular checkups can significantly strengthen their teeth and lower their risk for “sugar bugs.” The treatment itself just involves your child using a rinse, so it’s fast, gentle, and effective.
Tooth-Colored Fillings for Kids
Childhood cavities are extremely common, and should your child develop one, you don’t have to worry about us placing a dark gray, mercury-laden filling into their mouth. Instead, we’ll replace the decayed enamel with a composite resin material that has been specially shaded to match the rest of their teeth. It will completely blend into their smile, so your child won’t ever have to worry about friends or teachers noticing their dental work.
