Pediatric Dentistry
We love treating children. Our practice provides preventative care such as cleanings, exams and fluoride. Evaluations of growth and development of the jaws . Restorative treatment such as fillings and space maintainers.
Cleanings are performed by our hygienists. They will spend time making the child comfortable, cleaning the teeth, and educating on good hygiene practices and food choices.
Evaluation of growth and development of the jaws plays a crucial role in the healthy development of the dentition and airway. If the jaws are not keeping up with the growth of the child, we may recommend interceptive treatment to help stimulate growth and development.
Fillings and Space Maintainers
If the child has tooth decay, we will recommend restoring the area with tooth colored fillings. Tooth colored fillings are a safe and effective way to help maintain baby teeth until the permanent teeth erupt. Space Maintainers allow us to preserve the space where loss of a baby tooth has occurred too soon.
