- Dental ExaminationTo save you time on your visit, you can view several forms and fill them out in advance. That allows us to get to your child’s dental exam quickly.
- X-raysDental X-rays do so much more than just detect cavities. Pediatric dentists use X-rays to help them see how your child’s teeth are developing and erupting, diagnose bone disease, evaluate an injury or plan orthodontic treatment. These X-rays allow your dentist to take a deeper look at your child’s oral health and treat conditions that wouldn’t be detected during a routine cleaning or exam.
- Teeth CleaningAt Dentistry for Children, we recommend oral health exams twice a year, preferably during your child’s bi-annual teeth cleaning.
- Fluoride TreatmentYour child’s happy and healthy smile is our priority at Dentistry for Children, and we want to help keep it bright and white any way we can! Fluoride treatments are a great way to increase the overall health of your child’s teeth and gum and prevent tooth decay.
- Dental SealantsDuring your child’s bi-annual visit, our professional dental hygienists or assistants will perform your child’s routine cleanings. These regularly scheduled cleanings act as a discovery opportunity as our team follows the “tell, show, do” model with your child. This involves our team discussing each instrument and showing them each part of the process. This allows your child to become comfortable with the process and what optimal oral hygiene looks like. We’ll also take this time to recommend special preventative treatments, such as fluoride and sealants, that will benefit your child’s health.
- FillingsBecause of their natural look, tooth-colored fillings are now used more often than silver or gold fillings. In addition to being cosmetically pleasing, some tooth-colored fillings contain materials that release fluoride, protecting the filling from further decay. Patients love leaving the office with a bright, white smile that will keep their mouth healthy long term!
- Resin CompositeThe main purpose of a dental filling is to restore your child’s tooth back to its optimal state and chewing function. Getting a dental filling is not preferred, but sometimes it is necessary to preserve the overall health and function of your child’s mouth. A filling allows your child’s dentist to clean out the decayed matter and fill it with a non-toxic composite resin, gold, silver, or porcelain to preserve the tooth and keep your kid smiling!
- CrownsA dental crown is a restoration that covers or “caps” a tooth, restoring it to its normal size and shape while strengthening and protecting it from further cracking or breakage.
- Root Canal TreatmentNo parent wants to hear the words, “Your child needs a root canal,” but sometimes it happens. Our pediatric dentists are dedicated to treating kids’ mouths while keeping them safe and comfortable – especially during a root canal.
- Oral SurgeryOur care doesn’t stop there. If it is determined your child will need braces or if oral surgery is recommended, you’ve come to the right place! Through our orthodontic partners, Family Orthodontics and Oral Surgery 4 Georgia, we are here to help your child achieve the smile of your dreams – anywhere in Georgia.
- Tooth ExtractionsAt Dentistry for Children, we do everything we can to preserve your child’s healthy smiles, but sometimes, a tooth extraction is necessary to continue pursuing great oral health. If a tooth is badly damaged and can’t be repaired with traditional methods, your child may need to have the tooth pulled or extracted.
- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsTraditional metal brackets aren’t for everybody. Other options include ceramic braces, lingual braces and Invisalign or clear aligners. Your certified orthodontist specialist will recommend the treatment that’s best for you.
- BracesTreatment with braces isn’t just about straight teeth and a gorgeous smile. It’s about maximizing the alignment of your teeth and jaw to improve your ability to bite, chew and speak. That perfect smile is a bonus — a benefit that leads to improved self-esteem and self confidence.
