Benefits of Preventive Care

Builds Rapport

Routine dental check ups in early childhood help little ones get used to the sights and sounds of the office and build a positive relationship with the dentist.

Prevents Oral Disease

Cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants go a long way in preventing cavities and gum disease in children.

Detects Problems Early

Regular check-ups ensure we catch problems in their earliest stages when they can be treated more easily or, sometimes, even reversed.

Preventive services for kids

Cleanings & Exams

Dental cleanings and exams are the superheroes of preventive dentistry. Cleanings send plaque packing, while exams are the key to avoiding problems altogether or, at least, catching them in their earliest stages.

Our experienced dentists make check-ups engaging and interactive. They also take the time to educate kids and parents about good brushing and flossing habits. Our goal is to create the foundation for a lifetime of amazing oral health.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens kids’ enamel and helps it better fight off decay. At visits, the dentist will chat with you about how much fluoride your child is getting and may recommend a topical fluoride treatment.

Fluoride treatments are quick and easy. The dentist simply paints the gel or varnish onto your child’s teeth at the end of their appointment.

Protective Dental Sealants

Dental sealants form a protective layer over the chewing surfaces of kids’ permanent molars. This keeps food particles, plaque, and acids from getting into the pits and grooves of the back teeth and causing cavities.

Getting sealants is painless, fast, and affordable. The dentist paints a BPA-free coating onto the teeth (usually when the 6- and 12-year molars come in). According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), this prevents up to 80% of cavities.

Sports Mouthguards

Sports account for their fair share of oral and facial injuries in kids, but wearing a mouthguard is a cost-effective, simple solution. Unfortunately, this important piece of protective equipment isn’t required in many sports.

If your child engages in physical activity that could result in a blow to the face, we recommend they wear a mouthguard. Our custom sports mouthguards offer optimal protection and comfort.
