Effective Treatment for Cavity Prevention
As children's teeth are more prone to cavities, a very effective preventive treatment has been developed. Dental sealants reduce the risk of decay. The application is quick and easy and does not require any shots or drilling. Just one application can greatly help both children and adolescents keep their natural teeth for a lifetime.
First, the dentist cleans and sterilizes the teeth. A thin coating of the sealant is applied to the biting surfaces. It is clear or white, so it is invisible. With a curing light, the application is bonded to the surfaces of teeth. And that's the whole procedure!
Understanding Your Children's Dental Care
Children have different needs from adults in maintaining their dental health, as their teeth are more susceptible to decay. Our dentists want their young patients to maintain their natural teeth for a lifetime. We make parents and children aware of the factors that contribute to decay, and advise them how to minimize the risks of developing cavities.
Children need to develop good brushing and flossing techniques used on a daily basis. We recommend that parents oversee children's daily dental hygiene until they have developed good daily cleaning habits and are old enough to maintain them.
Every time food is chewed, acid is produced in the mouth. As kids tend to eat throughout the day, acid will build up on the surface of teeth. If teeth are not clean to begin with, additional exposure to acid will develop more cavities and increase the rate that they develop. With better nutritional dietary choices and improved daily dental hygiene, the risk of cavities developing can be reduced. One application of a dental sealant is also a very effective preventive treatment.

Caring for Your Children
Our doctors will make your children feel comfortable about undergoing dental care. They administer to their needs in a thoughtful and compassionate manner. Treatment is delivered with the latest technologies that make it easy for the patient and completed quickly. We teach children from their first visit how to take care of their teeth on a daily basis and emphasize how important this is in order to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime. We enjoy all their visits, starting with their first tooth, and look forward to watching them grow and change and maintain good dental health throughout the years.
It is our goal to have all children grow up without fear of dental work. We are achieving this, as many parents have told us. No matter if your child is active or scared, we can make the difference in their dental care to be a positive experience.
