Children’s Dental Checkups & Cleanings
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children begin visiting the dentist’s office by the time their first tooth grows in or by their first birthday – whichever comes first. Then, routine checkups and cleanings every six months can help them maintain healthy and happy smiles. Dr. Navneet and Dr. Simrann are also happy to answer any questions you may have about your child’s oral health and development!
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are clear protective coatings that our team can brush over the chewing surface of molars to prevent food debris and plaque from building up in their crevices. The process is completely painless and fast! After the sealant liquid is applied to your child’s molar, we will harden it using UV light, allowing the sealant to continue providing the tooth with protection for years to come.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive cavity treatment that our team typically utilizes for children who have early signs of decay. If we spot a small cavity, we can brush the SDF liquid onto the tooth to arrest it as well as protect it from future threats. It’s pain-free, fast, highly effective, and less invasive than a standard tooth-colored filling.
Athletic Mouthguards/Sportsguards
If your child participates in a local sports league or athletics at their school, we offer customized sportsguards to help protect their jaw and teeth from damage. These are crafted from cushioning acrylic to prevent dental emergencies from occurring on the field or court, allowing your little one to put in maximum effort with minimum risk of an unexpected trip to the dental office.
Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment/Frenectomies
Lip and tongue ties occur when the frenum, which are the bands of soft oral tissues that connect the lips to the gums and the tongue to the floor of the mouth, are too long or thick. This causes them to restrict oral movement, impacting your child’s life by affecting everything from nursing abilities and weight gain to speech development. We offer soft tissue laser frenectomies to improve oral mobility and your child’s overall quality of life.
