Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The dental hygienist will begin your child’s cleaning by exploring the surface of the teeth to determine if there are any cavities and to examine the quality of existing fillings. The dental hygienist will then perform a periodontal exam to make sure your child’s gums adhere tightly to the teeth, and no periodontal disease or bone loss is present.
• X-rays
  We recommend taking X-rays around the age of two or three. The first set consists of simple pictures of the front upper and lower teeth, which familiarizes your child with the process. Once the baby teeth in back are touching one another, then regular (at least yearly) X-rays are recommended. Permanent teeth start coming in around age six, and X-rays help us make sure your child’s teeth and jaw are healthy and properly aligned. If your child is at a high risk of dental problems, we may suggest having X-rays taken at an earlier age.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  I am glad to be able to change the stigma on dentistry and make sure the kids have the best possible experience. Seeing kids leave with a smile brings me the greatest joy. I provide gentle cleanings and teach patients and families about oral health and how to establish a lifetime of good habits.
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Ask your dentist about dental sealants, a protective plastic coating that can be applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay often starts.
