Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids
Although your little one’s baby teeth will eventually be lost, they play an essential role in your child’s long-term dental health. Therefore, they’ll need to be taken care of with six-month checkups and cleanings. In addition to looking for cavities, we’ll also teach your child the basics of cleaning their teeth at home in kid-friendly, easy-to-understand terms.
Dental Sealants
Brushing can be much harder for kids than it is for adults, especially when it comes to the molars in the back of the mouth. Their location makes them difficult to reach, and their grooved surfaces can trap bits of food, where they can attract bacteria that contribute to decay. To safeguard these at-risk teeth, we can take just a few minutes to apply a thin layer of resin called a dental sealant. By literally sealing out harmful debris, your child’s molars will have a much lower risk of cavities for several years.
Athletic Mouthguards
If your son or daughter has expressed interest in playing a sport, it’s your job to make sure they’re protected from injury. This includes their smile; knocked-out teeth are far too common in athletes of any age. Rather than purchasing a flimsy, one-size-fits-all mouthguard from the sporting goods store, it’s better to invest in a customized one from our dental office. We’ll design the mouthguard to fit comfortably over their teeth while providing as much protection as possible.
