Preventative care is a key component of oral health for all ages, but especially for children. This includes proper brushing, flossing and eating habits along with regular dental checkups & dental sealants. Preventive care helps identify problems early on in a child’s life before becoming more severe and costly. If left untreated even in the earliest stages of life, dental issues can have serious implications for a child’s long-term health and well-being. We strive to provide a fun, educational environment where children learn about the importance of good dental hygiene.

Various cavity treatment options are available depending on the patient’s needs. In the early stages, the cavity might be reversible. We may recommend professional products to restore the tooth enamel and halt or slow decay progression. If treatment cannot reverse the cavity, the most common treatment is a filling. If a child has extensive decay, the patient may need a crown or cap to protect the remaining tooth from breakage and to restore its appearance. When we cannot restore a tooth in severe cases, a child may require a tooth extraction. However, tooth extractions are only a last resort. Regular dental checkups are crucial since they allow us to diagnose cavities before becoming too large and leading to greater problems.

Some youngsters naturally experience more fear or discomfort than others regarding dental visits. This is quite reasonable; no one enjoys going to the dentist, not even grownups! You might be considering sedation dentistry if your young one is uncomfortable with the idea of dental treatment. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation to help make dental treatment more comfortable.
