We want to ensure the whole family can enjoy better oral health, including kids! Which is why we offer children’s dentistry, with treatments to fight cavities and even address dental emergencies. In today’s blog, your Rowlett, TX, dentist talks about how we help little smiles with children’s dentistry. With the right care and attention, your kids can enjoy optimal oral health and smiles that shine!
Preventing Oral Health Issues in Little Smiles
We want to take a preventive approach to children’s dentistry to help your kid avoid issues like tooth decay and dental infection. Our team will talk to your little ones about better oral hygiene habits and the importance of caring for their smiles. Every six months, we can conduct a dental exam to watch for the earliest signs of decay and infection, so we can offer care to protect the smile from premature tooth loss. We will also provide a cleaning, removing all plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of the teeth to prevent issues like cavities and gingivitis, as well as bad breath and teeth stains. We could also discuss fluoride treatments and dental sealants to reduce the risk of cavities forming. With a preventive approach, kids can enjoy better oral health and may feel more confident in the appearance of their smiles.
Restoring Children’s Smiles
What if your child develops a cavity? To prevent infection and premature tooth loss of baby teeth, we will place a dental filling. The restoration will be metal-free, made from a composite resin that can blend with the smile. Placement takes only one visit, and helps protect the health and beauty of your child’s smile. Our team can also use the same composite resin material in a bonding procedure to repair teeth that have been chipped or cracked, taking on dental emergencies to keep the smile healthy and whole. We could also discuss crowns for more severe issues, or to help improve overall bite balance and chewing function.
If you have any questions about our preventive and restorative treatments for little ones, or if you would like to schedule a visit for your child, then contact our team today. Now is a great time for a checkup and cleaning, as your child can receive one before the new school year starts, so they begin a new semester with a brighter and healthy smile.
