Is Children’s Dentistry an Age-Defined Specialty?

We offer services that ensure your young ones enjoy comprehensive care in one location. Here are the pediatric services available in our office. 

• Dental cleanings: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Your child is still learning the ropes of teeth cleaning, so you can expect them to miss spots in their mouth. Teeth cleanings complement at-home oral hygiene to ensure your child achieves a healthy, clean mouth. 
• Regular exams: Routine check-ups allow dentists to monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums. These visits typically include a thorough examination to detect early signs of decay, misalignment, or other issues. Early detection ensures timely intervention, promoting better oral health outcomes.
• Teeth sealants: Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of posterior teeth. Molars and premolars have natural grooves that can trap food particles, making them susceptible to cavities. Sealants fill these grooves, creating a smooth surface that’s easier to clean and less prone to decay. Sealant application is quick, painless, and minimally invasive.
• Patient education: We make learning about oral hygiene fun and easy for kids! We use simple, age-appropriate language—never confusing dental jargon—to teach children how to care for their teeth. We also provide caregivers with practical tips on guiding children at home, from proper brushing techniques to healthy nutrition for strong, cavity-free smiles.

Children aren’t just smaller adults. The adult’s worldview has been shaped through past experiences, tolerance level, ability to conceptualize new ideas, etc. Kids are a blank slate and often communicate more with body language than words. We understand this! We curate our pediatric dental services, tailoring your child’s dental needs as they grow up.
