- Dental ExaminationWe truly believe that regular dental examinations are important for good dental health and a smile of which you can be proud. We start by doing a professional cleaning, removing all of the bad tartar and other buildup on your teeth.
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningWe recommend routine dental cleanings for several reasons. When we perform professional cleaning, we remove the buildup of plaque and tartar. We also clean the parts of your child’s teeth that are hard to reach such as underneath your gums. Then we polish your child’s teeth so that they shine! If needed, we will apply fluoride to your child’s teeth.
- Fluoride TreatmentIt is also important for children who are growing to see the dentist regularly. We like to professionally clean their teeth, removing all of the tartar and plaque that may be building up. We also polish them so that they shine. For most children, we also offer a fluoride treatment, which helps their teeth continue to be strong.
- Dental SealantsHere at A Childrens Dentist, we are proud to offer the very best dental care to our patients. We are proud to offer sealants for this reason.
- Space MaintainersSpace maintainers are used when children lose their baby teeth early. This sometimes happen due to trauma or even decay. When a tooth is lost, other teeth will shift to fill in the space. Though this sounds good, it actually can cause a lot of spacing and alignment problems when the adult teeth start to come in. Because of this, spacers are used to fill in the space where the tooth is missing so that the other teeth stay in place.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeDental fillings are used to treat different dental problems like cavities and broken teeth. Teeth are usually filled with a material called composite resin, which is designed to look like your child’s natural teeth. Fillings can also be done with gold, porcelain, or silver amalgam.
- VeneersWe are usually able to fill in broken teeth to make them look like normal teeth. We even use a cement that is the color of your child’s teeth. If that does not work, we offer veneers and caps to cover up any broken teeth.
- CrownsThere are two types of spacers: fixed and removable. Fixed spacers use a “band and loop,” “crown and loop,” or “distal shoe” type of spacer to fill the space where the tooth is missing. Fixed spacers are usually metal and can last a long time. There are times when we can place an enamel tooth into the space to improve the smile’s appearance.
- Bridges
- Root Canal TreatmentEndodontics is a specialized form of dentistry that deals with the dental pulp inside the center of the tooth. Usually if your child needs endodontic work, you would need to take your child to a specialist instead of being treated by a regular dentist. That is why we are proud to be able to help our patients by offering specialized endodontic procedures!
- DenturesBesides routine dental care, we offer traditional dental procedures to keep your child’s teeth as strong as possible. These include fillings, sealants, and more. If your child starts losing permanent teeth or your child’s teeth are broken, we can also help. We offer bridges, dentures, and much more.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsTooth extractions can be necessary for many reasons. Some teeth are too diseased to save. There are times when a tooth is too damaged. We might also remove teeth if your mouth is overcrowded.
- OrthodonticsOrthodontics is a dental specialty that involves treating teeth that are positioned improperly. This mostly involves malocclusions (also called “bad bites”). This happens when your child bites down and his or her teeth do not line up correctly. Orthodontics also includes fixing crooked teeth. Orthodontists also study the facial bones and jaw, especially during a child’s development.
- BracesThough many people think of teenagers wearing braces when they hear the phrase “dental appliances,” there are many other appliances that work well for younger children. Some appliances are used to prevent problems while others are used to treat them.
- Teeth WhiteningThe most common complaint people have about their teeth is their color. There are a lot of whitening products on the market, so it is important to discuss your options with your dentist.
