We have a knack for making children feel comfortable and helping them understand what to expect before beginning their examinations and treatment. We do cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. We continuously go over home care with the child and their parents and stress the importance of eating healthy snacks and food that is good for your teeth!

Common Dental Treatments for Children
Cleanings
Like adults, children need routine cleanings and exams once their teeth have fully developed. Since children are less effective at staying consistent with their hygiene, cleanings are often more important for preventing cavities and other problems with their dental health and development.
Fluoride treatments
Fluoride, found in many toothpaste brands, help strengthen children’s tooth enamel. If the enamel is weak, fluoride treatments can strengthen the enamel and increase the chance of preventing cavities.
Dental sealants
Dental sealants are thin layers of resin that are painted onto the chewing surfaces of molars, and can protect your child from the risks of cavity development. The procedure is usually very easy for children to tolerate.
Custom mouthguards
Custom made mouthguards are great for children active in sports. These are much more comfortable than store bought mouthguards and can provide added protection.
