Kidzz Dentistry

Early dental care builds the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our pediatric dentistry services focus on prevention, gentle treatments, and fun, positive experiences that keep your child’s teeth strong and their smile confident.

Comprehensive Dental Care for Children

Your first visit to the pediatric dentist will be primarily for the dentist to gather information, do a basic examination and get both you and your child comfortable in the office. Visiting a dentist early can catch future problems (and save dental procedures down the road). Let’s walk through some of the common dental procedures for kids

Common Procedures Include

Checkups

Education and prevention are the cornerstones of our concern for the dental health of children. In addition to teaching parents and guardians about dental care for their child, checkups are an appropriate time to comfortably and easily evaluate:

Sealants for kids

Sealants protect teeth from tooth decay—both permanent teeth and baby teeth. Putting sealants on teeth before they decay (especially permanent molars) saves time, money and hassle. Research has shown sealants to be safe and effective. Sealants are simple and painless to apply. In fact dental sealants can prevent up to 60 percent of tooth decay.

Dental Crowns

Pediatric dentists use crowns to save a tooth that’s too decayed to support a filling. Crowns fit over the tooth to protect it and then are cemented in place. Children’s crowns can be made of various materials. Stainless steel crowns for kids are the most durable, last the longest, and are less expensive.

Space Maintenance

A baby tooth is sometimes lost prematurely because of tooth decay or injury. If this occurs before the permanent tooth is ready to erupt the nearby teeth can shift or drift into the space where the primary tooth use to be creating a lack of space in the jaw for the permanent teeth. The teeth in the other jaw may also move up or down to fill in the gap. If this crowding happens there may not be enough room for the new tooth to come in correctly, so it emerges lopsided or is not able to erupt at all. This crowded condition can make it more difficult :

  • To clean (increasing your child’s risk for tooth decay.)
  • It can also make chewing difficulty causing these teeth to wear down more quickly.
  • If left untreated, this condition may result in extensive orthodontic treatment.

Surprisingly some baby teeth are not replaced by adult teeth until a child reaches 12 or 14 years old!The space maintainer is a small metal device that is custom fitted to your child’s mouth. It is firmly fixed in the mouth and will be removed when the permanent tooth is in it’s proper position. It may consist of a band attached to the tooth on one side of the space with a wire loop or spring bridging the gap to the tooth on the other side. They steady the remaining teeth, preventing movement until the permanent tooth takes it’s natural position.

Should I clean my baby’s teeth?

Definitely. Even before the first tooth appears, use a soft, clean cloth to wipe your baby’s gums and cheeks after feeding. As soon as the first tooth appears, begin using a small, soft bristled tooth brush to clean the tooth after eating. Don’t cover the brush with toothpaste. Young children tend to swallow most of the toothpaste,and swallowing too much fluoridated toothpaste can cause permanent spots on their teeth called dental fluorosis.
