Kids Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Your child’s initial dental checkup and cleaning appointment will involve us getting to know them (and you) while also discussing ways to care for their growing smile at home. Dr. Steve will examine their mouth and take any necessary X-rays before having one of our hygienists clear away all plaque and tartar that may exist on their teeth and gums.
Dental Sealants
As a clear coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, dental sealants provide the layer of protection these teeth need while your child learns to brush even the most hard-to-reach places. This painless process is often completed during a dental checkup and takes only minutes to complete. Once in place, sealants can last up to a decade.
Pulp Treatment
If bacteria reach the inner layer of your child’s tooth, it will likely cause immense pain. By removing the infected tissue – the pulp – Dr. Steve can repair the problem and allow your child to keep their natural, pain-free tooth instead of having it removed.
