Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  We may ask you to sit in the dental chair, holding your child, during their dental exam. We may also ask you to wait in the reception area for part of the visit so trust can be built between your child and our team. Our dentists will check your child’s teeth for signs of decay, examine their bite and look for problems with the gums, jaw and oral tissues. Our hygienist may gently clean your child’s teeth. Our team will then educate you about dental health care basics for children. We may discuss the following subjects with you...

• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Sealants are another treatment we may recommend for your child. Dental sealants are very thin coatings made of resin that are typically applied to the permanent back teeth (molars and premolars) when they come in. The sealant creates a barrier on the tooth, which helps to block out bacteria, food particles and plaque that lead to tooth decay, and the sealant also forms a smooth surface on the tooth that is easier to keep clean with regular brushing. Our dentists may recommend dental sealants to help your child prevent tooth decay and keep their teeth healthy.

These are dental restorations that can be used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, trauma or other factors. Dental crowns and onlays are both used to repair teeth, but they are slightly different. A crown is designed to cover the entire tooth, starting at the gums, while an onlay replaces only the damaged portion of the tooth.
