Calming Dental Fears
We understand that a dental visit can be very fearful for children. We make our office a happy and relaxed place, and according to the parents of our young patients, we are successful in calming their fears and meeting their dental needs. We are here to help you whether you have a very active five-year-old or a scared eight-year old.

Choosing Your Child’s Dentist is Like Choosing Their Pediatrician
It is important to instill good habits at an early age. With even the smallest cavity, a tooth is permanently damaged and will require a restoration. Children are more prone to cavities because of several factors. They often do not brush well in their formative years. They are still learning good habits, and we encourage parents to oversee their daily dental care. They also eat more often throughout the day, which gives additional exposure to acid (the food produces acid in the mouth) that can accelerate the development of cavities. Also, if teeth are not as clean as they should be to begin with, the continual grazing of more food throughout the day will speed up the rate of cavity formation.

Encouraging a healthier selection of foods and better hygiene habits can help. An application of a fluoride varnish at a young age will mineralize teeth to significantly reduce the occurrence of cavities.

Preventing Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!
Even proper brushing may miss some of the grooves of the back teeth. Once bacteria builds up and acids form, plaque will develop into decay. There is a preventive measure to keep this from happening. One application of a dental sealant is what is needed.

First, all the teeth are cleaned and then sterilized. A thin application of the sealant is applied to all the teeth. It is clear or white in color and invisible. A curing light is used to bond the sealant to the teeth. This is the whole procedure, which takes just a few minutes. No shots or drilling are necessary, and the entire tooth stays intact. It is safe and one of the best preventive measures to help keep children‘s and adolescents’ teeth cavity-free.
