- Dental ExaminationYour child"s first visit will begin with a friendly, caring introduction to our dental home; where lifelong relationships begin. During the visit we will discuss topics such as homecare instruction, nutrition counseling, growth & development evaluation, orthodontic evaluation as well as a comprehensive examination to identify any potential dental concerns.
- Teeth CleaningI wish I had a place like this when I was a child I wouldn't be scared to death of the Dentist as an adult. Best place to bring your children. From the front desk ladies to the doc and everyone in between are amazing. I filled out the info about my son and the lady that took us back and did my sons teeth cleaning was AMAZING she talked to my son about all the things I put on the list and she made him feel so comfortable. He still talks about it. GREATEST PLACE EVER!! I wish I was a kid just so I could go there!
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride-containing compounds are used in topical and systemic fluoride therapy for preventing tooth decay. Fluoride treatment works to prevent cavities by (i) stopping the demineralization, or breakdown, of your child"s teeth, (ii) promoting the remineralization, or strengthening, of those very same teeth, and (iii) providing antibacterial effects by disrupting the enzymes used by bacteria found in plaque.
- Dental SealantsAsking your hygienist or dentist about sealant applications to protect your child"s teeth-chewing surfaces and about bottle tooth decay, which occurs when teeth are frequently exposed to sugared liquids.
- Space MaintainersSince primary teeth guide the permanent teeth into place, infants with missing primary teeth or infants who prematurely lose primary teeth may require a space maintainer, a device used to hold the natural space open. Without a maintainer, the teeth can tilt toward the empty space and cause permanent teeth to come in crooked. Missing teeth should always be mentioned to your family dentist. The way your child cares for his/her primary teeth plays a critical role in how he/she treats the permanent teeth. Children and adults are equally susceptible to plaque and gum problems hence, the need for regular care and dental checkups.
- CrownsRecover the tooth, making sure to hold it by the crown (top) and not the root end. Rinse with saline if you have that handy, but do not clean or handle the tooth more than necessary. Reinsert the tooth in the socket and hold it in place using a clean piece of gauze or cloth. If the tooth cannot be reinserted, carry it in a cup containing milk or saliva (ie: spit). Because time is essential in the long-term prognosis of this tooth, call our office and see Dr. Jones immediately !
- OrthodonticsDetails: We joined with Total Orthodontics and many of our patients at The Food Bank of the Rockies on March 5th. FBR collects and distributes food to nonprofit agencies that feed those in need in Wyoming and Northern Colorado, including the Denver area.
- General DentistryDr. Sati Khalsa, who was raised in Los Angeles, California, earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychobiology from the University of California at Los Angeles in 2002. It truly was a childhood dream for her to become a pediatric dentist and her journey was unique to get there. While Los Angeles with her family was home base she also attended boarding school in Northern India from elementary school through high school and community college in Santa Monica, CA. In 2006, she received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University College of Dentistry. To keep her experiences well rounded she completed a General Practice Residency at Wyckoff Heights Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. As general dentistry and public health organizations allowed her to work with patients of all ages and all backgrounds, this was her focus for almost ten years in New York City and New York State. But the call of the childhood dream had never left. In 2014 she was accepted for a one year internship in pediatric dentistry and then completed the two year University at Buffalo Pediatric Dentistry residency program as the last step to finalizing the goal of becoming a pediatric dentistry specialist. In that time she also had the opportunity to travel twice to Senegal, Africa for dental outreach missions. After all those years on the East Coast she has been loving Colorado like a local since 2017, as it called her with its number of sunny days, seasons and a great metro middle ground for family in California and New Mexico. She also earned her American Board of Pediatric Dentistry Certification in 2018. She maintains her credentials at Children's Hospital Colorado and holds an adjunct faculty position to help teach residents at the Children's Colorado Hospital Pediatric Dentistry residency program.
