Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids

Initially, our primary goal at a child’s checkup is to help them feel comfortable in our dental office. By ensuring positive dental experiences from the start, this makes follow-up visits so much easier for everyone! At these appointments, we’ll not only examine your child’s teeth and give them a cleaning, but we’ll also discuss the basics of oral hygiene with them so they can begin to form healthy habits right away. We’ll also answer any questions you might have about their dental health.

Dental Sealants

A child’s molars are by far their most vulnerable teeth, as their location and deeply grooved surfaces make them particularly susceptible to developing cavities. Fortunately, we can give them protection by covering the enamel with a thin layer of dental plastic. This literally seals off the teeth so that food particles and bacteria can’t become trapped and lead to decay. The procedure only takes a few minutes and is completely painless.

Fluoride Treatments

Most children get enough fluoride day to day from the foods they eat, tap water, and toothpaste, but some can still benefit from a professional fluoride treatment. This quick and easy procedure involves coating the teeth with a highly-concentrated fluoride gel that strengthens the enamel, making it more resistant to cavities. It can also repair minor areas of decay! Better yet, we can seamlessly incorporate this treatment into their routine cleanings.
