Specialized Dental Care for Children
Kids' dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care that focuses on providing oral health services to children. These services range from preventive measures such as regular checkups and fluoride treatments to treating cavities and performing minor restorative work. Kids' dentists at Dental Artistry are specially trained to treat children in the most comfortable manner possible, using kid-friendly materials and methods of treatment. They also understand the unique needs of younger patients, including their limited attention span, fear of needles or drills, or difficulty staying still during procedures.
With regular visits to our dentists, parents can help ensure their children have healthy teeth for life! When it comes to selecting a kids' dentist, parents should be sure they choose one who is experienced in pediatric dentistry and understands how best to provide care that meets their child's individual needs. Our dentists put an emphasis on prevention by establishing good oral hygiene habits at home & offering sealants and other preventative treatments as needed.
Treatments Under Kid’s Dentistry
- Routine Check-Ups & Cleanings: We recommend that children visit the dentist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This helps us catch any potential dental problems early and prevent them from becoming more serious.
- Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are a protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They help prevent cavities by sealing out food particles and bacteria.
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. We offer fluoride treatments to help keep your child's teeth healthy and strong.
- Fillings & Restorations: If your child does develop a cavity or other dental problem, we offer a range of restorative treatments to repair the damage and restore the tooth to its proper function.
- Orthodontics: If your child needs braces or other orthodontic treatment, our team of orthodontic specialists can help. We offer a range of orthodontic services to help your child achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.
