- Dental ExaminationOn your child’s first visit to our office the doctor will perform an oral examination. Depending upon the age of the child a cleaning, fluoride and x-rays may be needed. No other treatment will be performed until the necessary procedures have been discussed with the parents.
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningPoor oral hygiene: Children don’t intuitively understand the importance of oral health. A pediatric dentist reinforces the importance of brushing and flossing and demonstrates the best and easiest techniques for teeth cleaning.
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride treatment: Every teeth cleaning includes the application of fluoride varnish to help strengthen teeth and ward off decay.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants: When adult molars finally erupt, sealants are recommended to coat the chewing surface of the teeth to help prevent cavities.
- Fillings
- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsYour child won’t necessarily avoid orthodontics or cavities if they don’t have bad habits, but certain behaviors make these circumstances far more likely and complex.
