Preventative Care
Your child’s oral health is our top priority, and preventative care lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our team provides gentle, thorough services tailored to kids to ensure their teeth and gums stay in top shape.
Here’s what we include in our preventative care:
Dental Exams
Teeth Cleanings
Even with great brushing habits, plaque and tartar can build up over time. Our professional cleanings gently remove these to prevent cavities and gum disease. We use kid-friendly techniques and tools to make the process comfortable, and your child leaves with a polished, bright smile.
X-rays
Digital X-rays provide important information about your child’s dental health. They help us see what’s happening below the surface of the gums; the jawbone, the roots of the teeth, teeth under the gums and the areas between the teeth.
- Show the position of the teeth that have not come in yet
- See any potential growth problems
- Monitor dental disease or decay
This safe, quick imaging gives us detailed insights into your child’s oral health while minimizing radiation exposure. We only take X-rays when necessary, ensuring your child’s safety.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is nature’s cavity fighter! The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) affirms that the use of fluoride in the prevention of caries is safe and effective. The AAPD encourages dentists and dental professionals, other health care providers, public health officials, and parents/caregivers to optimize fluoride exposures to reduce the risk for cavities and to enhance the remineralization of affected teeth.
