Children’s Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Regular checkups and cleanings are an important part of cavity prevention. With a little guidance from our team about their brushing/flossing habits and diet, as well as professional bi-annual cleanings, we can help drastically reduce the chances of your child needing other treatments, like fillings. Our team is patient and always ready to put your child’s comfort first, ensuring that all of their visits are positive.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are excellent for children, as they’re thin, clear coverings that are painted onto the chewing surface of molars to keep debris and bacteria from accumulating in their pits and grooves. Incredibly effective, sealants have been found to reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent in the first two years following their application, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
If your child or teen participates on their local sports team, whether it’s football, basketball, or soccer, then they could benefit from a custom athletic mouthguard. These are specially crafted to be comfortable to wear as well as easy to breathe with while they’re in your child’s mouth. Investing in a custom sportsguard has been shown to dramatically decrease your child’s chances of sustaining an oral injury while on the field or court.
