Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  One of the best ways that your child can protect their teeth and keep a healthy smile is by regularly visiting our office for dental exams and teeth cleanings in Taylorsville, Utah. Our friendly pediatric dentist, Dr. Bailey, and our team will gently clean your child’s teeth and examine their mouth to check for any problems and provide any necessary treatments. We invite you to schedule your child’s next cleaning with our team at West Valley Pediatric Dentistry by contacting us today at 801-417-8080.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Although our team at West Valley Pediatric Dentistry works hard to protect your child’s teeth, it is important for them to develop good dental hygiene habits at home. When your child visits with Dr. Bailey, our pediatric dentist, will provide instructions for proper brushing, flossing, rinsing, and at-home fluoride treatments so that your child can continue to have beautifully clean teeth after they leave our office. We want to help your child have good dental hygiene in Taylorsville, Utah, and develop a lifelong beautiful smile. Please call us today at 801-417-8080 to schedule your child’s appointment.

Restorative

• Fillings
  If your child’s teeth become largely exposed to bacteria, plaque can start to build up and cause tooth decay. Should this happen, Dr. Bailey can help restore and protect your child’s teeth with dental tooth-colored fillings in Taylorsville, Utah. Our pediatric dentist and team understand the importance of treating damaged teeth and protecting them from further harm, but we also want to keep your child’s smile looking beautiful and natural. That’s why we offer only composite, tooth-colored fillings; you never have to worry about your child receiving a silver, amalgam filling when you visit West Valley Pediatric Dentistry. Contact us today at 801-417-8080 to schedule your child’s appointment.
• Crowns
  If your child has a tooth that has received extensive damage or decay, Dr. Bailey may recommend a dental crown. For children who receive dental crowns in Taylorsville, Utah, from our team at West Valley Pediatric Dentistry, they will receive customized white crowns that fit comfortably in their smile. We choose to use white crowns because we want to help your child’s smile stay not only healthy but beautiful. Should you prefer silver crowns, however, we do offer those for back teeth. If you have any questions about our crowns or other services, and to schedule your appointment with our pediatric dentist, please contact us at 801-417-8080 today! We are always happy to help!

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Tooth Extractions
  Sometimes, a tooth may need to be removed for health or aesthetic reasons. Teeth can become decayed, damaged, or crowded, and our pediatric dentist at West Valley Pediatric Dentistry will determine whether a tooth extraction is right for your child. Should your child require a tooth extraction in Taylorsville, Utah, Dr. Bailey will perform the procedure gently and effectively to ensure your child’s comfort. We invite you to contact us today at 801-417-8080 to schedule your child’s appointment and to determine whether your child requires a tooth extraction.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  While a child’s mouth develops and grows, teeth may become misaligned and jaw growth can be irregular, among other things. Our pediatric dentist and team at West Valley Pediatric Dentistry are trained to spot irregularities in your child’s oral development that could lead to problems such as impacted teeth and crossbites. Dr. Bailey will carefully monitor your child’s development to not only notice patterns of irregular growth but to provide preventive and corrective treatments. By catching and treating these problems early on, our team can help your child avoid surgery and other serious treatment in the future. With orthodontic appliances and interceptive orthodontics, your child can be treated with early orthodontics in Taylorsville, Utah, to help their teeth and jaw grow properly. For more information about our early orthodontic treatments, and to schedule your child’s appointment, please contact us today at 801-417-8080!

General

• Teeth Whitening
  If your child wants to bleach their teeth, it is best to wait until they have all of their permanent teeth, usually around age 12. Otherwise, incoming adult teeth will not match the color of their bleached baby teeth. To whiten permanent teeth, OTC strips are a good option for children. They can also use overnight trays or come to the dentist for in-office treatments; however, these treatments are often more expensive and insurances usually don’t cover them. Whatever treatment your child receives, be sure to have your child brush their teeth with desensitizing toothpaste for a couple of weeks to minimize the sensitive side effects of teeth whitening.
• General Dentistry
  In addition to caring for child-specific oral problems and needs, our pediatric dentist and team at West Valley Pediatric Dentistry also provide general dentistry in Taylorsville, Utah. From simple filling treatments to more advanced assessments, Dr. Bailey can help protect and restore your child’s oral health. We invite you to bring your child into your office for all of their dental needs. Please contact us today at 801-417-8080 to schedule your child’s appointment.
