Diagnostic

• X-rays
  With contemporary safeguards, such as lead aprons and digital x-rays, the amount of radiation received in a dental x-ray is extremely small. Even though there is very little risk, pediatric dentists are particularly careful to minimize the exposure of child patients to radiation. In fact dental x-rays represent a far smaller risk than an undetected and treated dental problem.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Dental sealants are an important part of Preventive Dentistry. Sealants are used to protect teeth that have deep grooves or pits from getting cavities, primarily the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where most cavities in children are found. Sealants are normally easy to place and do not require local anesthesia. Any tooth that is susceptible to cavities, including primary (i.e., baby) teeth, is a candidate for sealant application, including newly-erupted permanent bicuspids and molars. The dental sealant is the most economical preventive restoration.
• Space Maintainers
  When a baby tooth in the back part of the mouth is lost too early, usually as a result of removal from extensive tooth decay, a space maintainer may be required. A space maintainer will hold the empty space open until the permanent tooth takes its natural position in the child’s mouth. Early loss of a baby tooth without a space maintainer results in the remaining baby teeth drifting into the space to fill the gap. Space maintainers prevent this and they often prevent the need for future costly orthodontic treatment.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Crowns
  The stainless steel crown (SSC) is the most durable, long-lasting dental restoration for primary teeth. It covers and protects the tooth until it is naturally lost. The SSC is indicated when...
• Dental Bonding
  Despite our best efforts in prevention, cavities do occur. Restorative dentistry is any dental procedure that fixes problems caused by decay and dental disease, such as routine fillings, crowns, and cosmetic bonding to repair broken teeth.

Endodontics

• Pulpotomy
• Root Canal Treatment
  Pulpotomies and pulpectomies may be used to save severely decayed or broken teeth from extraction. Primary (i.e., baby) teeth can be preserved to help guide the permanent teeth into proper placement as well as provide your child with increased dental function and esthetics.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Interceptive orthodontics is the process of identifying malocclusions (crowded or crooked teeth or bite problems) and actively intervening to guide the teeth as they emerge into the mouth. This type of early orthodontic treatment sets your growing child up for success and may help prevent more extensive treatment later.
• Braces
  Resin infiltration is primarily used to arrest the progression of small cavities between the teeth in the flossing areas. The aim of the resin infiltration technique is to allow penetration of the resin into the porous enamel which then serves as a barrier to acids and theoretically prevents the cavity from progressing. This technique helps avoid traditional drilling and filling. Resin infiltration is also a technique used to improve the cosmetic appearance of front teeth that have white and brown spotting after braces are removed or due to enamel hypomineralization.
