What is Restorative Dentistry and How Can It Help You?
- Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore function and aesthetics. It includes treatments such as crowns, bridges, implants, and full mouth restoration.
Your Child’s First Dental Visit: What to Expect
- The first dental visit is essential to help your child feel comfortable and to establish good oral hygiene habits. We recommend scheduling their first visit by the age of 1 or when their first tooth erupts. During this visit, our pediatric dentist will check your child’s teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
Preventive Care: Building a Foundation for Healthy Teeth
- Preventive care is key to protecting your child’s teeth from cavities and other dental issues. Regular checkups, cleanings, and proper brushing habits are essential. We emphasize early education and offer tips on brushing, flossing, and a balanced diet to keep their smile healthy.
Protect Your Child’s Teeth with Fluoride and Sealants
- Fluoride: Fluoride helps strengthen your child’s tooth enamel, making it more resistant to cavities. We offer fluoride treatments during routine checkups for added protection.
- Sealants: Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, preventing cavities by shielding them from food and bacteria.
