Your Child’s First Dental Visit

Even if your little one doesn’t have any teeth yet, we encourage you to bring them in for their first visit soon after their first birthday. However, if their teeth start erupting before them, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with us right away. Teeth can begin to develop cavities as soon as they emerge, and we want to prevent that. During this visit, our goal is to make them feel comfortable as well as to educate you on how to care for their smiles in between appointments.

Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards

Exercise is wonderful for children, but we don’t want it to put their smiles at risk! If they participate in a high-contact sport, such as football, hockey, or basketball, they need to wear a mouthguard to protect their pearly whites from injury. Our office can create this durable yet comfortable plastic tray to perfectly fit over your child’s teeth, delivering significantly greater protection than over-the-counter options.

Silver Diamine Fluoride

Also known as “nature’s cavity fighter,” fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, reducing the risk of cavities. Many people get plenty of fluoride through their oral care products and drinking water, but some younger patients could benefit from an extra application. We can quickly and painlessly paint a topical silver diamine fluoride gel onto your child’s teeth during their checkup. It should keep their teeth strong and cavity-free until their next visit!

Dental Sealants

The back teeth, or molars, contain grooves into which food particles can get stuck and attract cavity-causing bacteria. Sometimes, younger patients have a hard time reaching to clean these teeth. We can help prevent decay in these teeth with dental sealants. By applying a thin layer of composite resin to your child’s molars, the grooves are sealed from bacteria. This protection can last for up to a decade!

Non-Nutritive Habits

Does your child have bad habits, like thumb-sucking? While habits like these are a normal part of their development, they can damage your little one’s future smile if they persist past a certain age. If they continue to suck their thumb past the age of four, our team can help your child break this habit before it negatively impacts their budding smile.
