Children should establish proper oral care at their early age. A strong foundation of oral practice can benefit them throughout their lives by lowering the risk of developing bacteria that can cause dental issues. Here at Mendota Springs Dentistry, we offer Pediatric Dentistry services to provide the healthiest mouth possible for your children and establish a comfortable and positive impression for future dental visits.
What is Pediatric Dentistry?
It is a branch of dentistry specialized in providing oral care needs for children to prevent dental damage and to keep the mouth healthy. It involves series of treatments including preventative measures considering their behavioral needs for a better and comfortable dental experience. Pediatric Dentistry focuses on preventing oral damages to avoid complex procedures in the future.
Pediatric Dentistry Treatments
- Cleanings and Checkups
Though Regular brushing and flossing can contribute to good dental practice, it cannot ensure that your child has a healthy mouth since there are areas in the teeth where plaques can hide. That’s why professional cleaning and routine checkup is necessary to keep an eye on the children’s complete oral health. Through this, early signs of oral issues can be detected and addressed right away to prevent the damage from spreading.
- Dental X-Rays
It is a form of radiographic imaging which helps in detecting early signs of damage that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Digital x-ray is safe for children since it has less radiation compared to traditional x-ray.
- Dental Sealants
Dental sealants refer to the thin plastic coating placed on the chewing surface of the back teeth to prevent tooth decay and damage.
- Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a mineral which strengthens the teeth enamel. Fluoride treatment involves the application of fluoride varnish or gel over the teeth to strengthen enamel protecting the teeth from acid attacks that might cause decay.
