Dental Exams and Cleanings

Regular dental exams and cleanings are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health in children. During your child's exam, our pediatric dental team will evaluate their oral health, screen for oral cancer, and recommend any necessary treatments. Our dental cleanings involve removing plaque and tartar buildup from your child's teeth and gums, which can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. We recommend that you schedule a dental exam and cleaning at least once every six months.

Cavity Prevention

Cavity prevention is a crucial part of pediatric dentistry. Our pediatric dental team uses a variety of preventative measures, including fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and dietary counseling, to help your child maintain healthy teeth and gums. We'll work with you and your child to develop a personalized cavity prevention plan that meets their unique needs.

Orthodontic Evaluation

Orthodontic evaluation is an important aspect of pediatric dentistry. Our pediatric dental team will evaluate your child's teeth and jaw to determine if early orthodontic intervention is necessary. Early orthodontic treatment can help prevent more complex issues later in life, such as misaligned teeth and jaw problems.

Emergency Pediatric Dental Care

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and our pediatric dental team is here to help. We offer emergency dental care for issues such as toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and more. Our goal is to provide fast and effective treatment to relieve your child's pain and restore their oral health.
