Our team is ready to ensure your kids enjoy good oral health, and we do so with pediatric dentistry. Our team is ready to help little smiles avoid tooth decay and even receive necessary orthodontic care as young as age seven! In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about safeguarding little smiles with pediatric dentistry.
Kids Need to Schedule a Dental Exam
With pediatric dentistry, we can help smiles as young as age two, all the way to teens, and care starts with a dental exam. With a dental checkup, we can look at the smile with advanced and comfortable digital imaging, so we can make a diagnosis with precision and offer a treatment plan to take on concerns we may find. Kids become accustomed to these visits and don’t develop dental anxiety as adults, and in fact may be more likely to continue seeking care on their own, as they gain a better understanding of their smile and the importance of routine care at home and in our office.
Cleaning Little Smiles
In the same appointment, pediatric dentistry can safeguard little smiles with a dental cleaning. With the cleaning, we will gently and thoroughly remove all plaque and tartar from the teeth. The process only takes a few minutes, and helps ensure a smile less likely to develop cavities and gingivitis!
Cavity Prevention
Our team can also offer pediatric dentistry to help prevent cavities. For example, as part of that checkup and cleaning visit, we can coat the teeth in fluoride to strengthen enamel and acme cavities less likely. The application only takes seconds! We can also apply sealants to the rear teeth, coating the hard-to-reach molars with a thin acrylic layer so food and drink particles cannot be trapped there, fighting the risk of cavities for years to come.
Phase One Orthodontics
Our team can also help guide smile growth and limit misalignment when your kids start to develop crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth with Phase One Orthodontics. Also known as Interceptive orthodontics, these provide options like retainers and space maintainers to protect little smiles. If you have any questions about how pediatric dentistry safeguards little smiles, then contact our team today to learn more and schedule a visit!
