Your Child’s First Visit
During your children’s first appointments, we’ll take time
to make them feel right at home. We answer all of their questions, take
them on a tour of the office, and make sure they get to meet all of our
caring and knowledgeable team members. Then, we capture necessary digital
x-rays and images, carefully examine their smiles, clean their teeth, and
talk to them about creating an effective oral hygiene routine. We do our
utmost to make sure your child develops positive associations with the
dental office that will last a lifetime.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants allow us to quickly protect your child’s teeth
from potentially damaging bacteria, plaque, and tartar. As the name
suggests, sealants are applied directly to the surfaces of teeth where
they create a clear layer of protective coating that seals out any
potentially damaging products. We can apply sealants during a regular
office visit, and the procedure is completely painless. We simply paint a
coat of the sealant liquid onto the surfaces of teeth. Then, we use a
curing light to harden them in place. Once in position, sealants can
remain for years protecting teeth from damage.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If your child does experience tooth decay or damage, we will be happy to
repair their smile using tooth-colored, composite resin fillings. These
simple, same day treatments are quick and comfortable to apply, and they
will in no way mar the appearance of your child’s smile. We simply
prepare the damaged tooth removing any decayed or weakened areas, apply
the putty-like resin to the surfaces of the damaged tooth, and mold it
into position. Once the filling is in place, we use a curing light to
harden it leaving your child’s smile flawless once more.
Special Needs Care
We consider it a privilege to take care of special needs patients of all
ages...babies, toddlers, young children, teenagers, young adults, and
older adults. We have general dentists and specialists who have
training and experience in meeting the special, unique needs of each
patient. We welcome the opportunity to be of service in this important
area.
