Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Six-month dental checkups and teeth cleanings are important for patients of all ages, but children who are learning how to take better care of their smiles will find them even more valuable. Not only do we check for signs of cavities, tooth decay, damage, and gum disease, but we offer thorough teeth cleanings and patient education. Our dental team will discuss ways to improve oral hygiene habits at home and how to make the process fun.
Dental Sealants
Bacteria and food particles can easily become trapped in the pits and grooves of molars and premolars, and unfortunately, these teeth are some of the hardest to clean for children. This is why they need added protection. With dental sealants, the thin resin coating is applied to the chewing surfaces during a regular dental checkup so that teeth remain safeguarded from potential cavities. The dental sealant process is quick and painless, so you and your child can resume normal activity immediately following their appointment.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry
It’s not uncommon for children to experience dental anxiety. With nitrous oxide sedation dentistry, however, kids can remain calm and at ease throughout their appointments. As a mild sedative that possesses no serious side effects, children who receive nitrous oxide can expect to feel fully relaxed while receiving a dental cleaning or another form of treatment. And the best part is that the effects immediately begin to dissipate once the nasal mask is removed.
