Childrens Dentistry

A happy pediatric dental patient

It seems like one of the most frequent questions I get is “do you treat children?”. The answer is absolutely! We love our young patients and will see them at any age. We use the same gentle techniques that we use for adults. If we do find decay in a childs tooth, the air abrasion drill-less cavity removal is fantastic. We can usually remove their cavities without any anesthetic while they watch TV. We really enjoy pediatric dentistry and feel great about showing children that it does not have to be scary going to the dentist.

Sealants are effective preventative treatment to help prevent fissure decay. Beware though, as not all sealants are the same. We use an extremely high fluoride release sealant that actually automatically recharges its fluoride reserves from toothpaste or other sources. It is also moisture tolerant during placement, which is one reason why so many resin sealants fail or get decay underneath them.
