Pediatric Dentistry – Keep Your Child’s Mouth Healthy
Taking care of your teeth is something you’ll do your whole life. We are here to help parents teach their kids how to keep their teeth healthy. You can bring the little one for their first checkup. You may have an older child or teen who needs regular care, or Invisalign treatment. We are happy to perform pediatric dentistry for you.
What to Expect at Your Child’s First Appointment
Take your child to the dentist when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday.
If your child is younger, the dentist will check their gums and baby teeth to ensure proper growth.
For older kids with most permanent teeth, the dentist will clean their teeth and check their mouth.
The dentist might take X-rays to see how the teeth are developing.
Feel free to ask any questions during the visit. The dentist will provide all the information you need.
The Importance Of Routine Visits – Finding a Dental Home
Taking your child to the dentist regularly when they’re young is really good for their teeth. Here’s why:
- Your child will get used to going to the dentist and will build a good friendship with the My Dental Club team.
- Our dentists will learn about any special challenges your child’s teeth might have and deal with them at each visit.
- Seeing your child every six months helps us keep an eye on how their teeth are growing and makes sure they get the right treatment when they need it.
Repairing Damaged Teeth – Stainless Steel Crowns
Stainless steel crowns are like superhero caps for baby teeth with cavities or damage. Our dentists clean and fix the tooth. Then, we place a crown to keep it strong. These crowns are affordable, effective, and safe. They protect the tooth until it falls out naturally.
Restoring Infected Teeth – Pulpotomies
A pulpotomy removes the infection in a baby tooth, keeping it intact until it falls out. Infected teeth can cause serious problems, even if it’s a baby tooth. If a primary tooth becomes infected, it can affect the growth of permanent teeth.
Preserving Your Child’s Smile – Space Maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost early, a space maintainer keeps the space open for permanent teeth. It prevents nearby teeth from moving into the empty space. If your child loses a tooth, call us immediately. We’ll check their smile and discuss options like space maintainers. Fill out the form on our website for assistance.
