Kids Dental Checkups & Cleanings
We use a child’s checkup and cleanings not just as an opportunity to examine their teeth and remove cavity-causing plaque, but we also make sure they establish a positive relationship with dentistry starting at a young age. By going at their pace and explaining everything we’re doing, this makes future appointments and following home care instructions much easier, which will serve them well into adulthood.
Dental Sealants
A dental sealant is like placing a thin, almost invisible protective shield over your child’s most vulnerable teeth. We apply a thin layer of dental resin to the molars that can be difficult for little hands to reach while brushing, and this prevents the accumulation of plaque and bacteria on the chewing surfaces that can lead to cavities.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
You probably know that fluoride strengthens enamel, so what is silver diamine fluoride? SDF enables us to address cavities without having to drill or fill a tooth. It’s a liquid that is applied directly to active decay that simultaneously kills the harmful bacteria while reinforcing the remaining enamel. It’s fast, gentle, and extremely effective.
Athletic Mouthguards / Sportsguards
Are you tired of wincing from the sideline because you’re worried about your child’s safety when they play sports? We can give them a mouthguard they’ll actually use because it’s custom-made to be comfortable and secure. Our guards provide better defense from sudden impacts and falls while still letting your child breathe and speak easily. It will go a long way in saving you both from an expected trip to the dentist!
Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment
Does your child struggle to breastfeed or take a bottle? Do they struggle to speak or chew? It could be due to a lip or tongue tie that is restricting their oral function. With a fast, precise, and virtually pain-free laser frenectomy, we can eliminate these ties and the struggles they cause. The laser is so gentle that even tiny infants can feed almost immediately afterward, offering a deep sense of relief for stressed parents (especially poor moms).
