Regular professional cleanings, exams, and X-rays every six months help monitor oral health, detect early signs of cavities, and track the development of adult teeth to prevent potential issues.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and shields growing teeth from decay, making it an effective and affordable way to protect kids’ teeth, especially given their love of sweets.
Dental sealants protect hard-to-clean grooves in teeth from decay, offering long-lasting defense against harmful bacteria and cavities.
Space maintainers ensure stability in your child’s mouth by preserving space for adult teeth and supporting surrounding teeth, muscles, and bones.
Fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by cavities, helping to prevent further decay. We use tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with your child’s smile for a discreet solution.
If the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged, a root canal may be needed to save the tooth. This procedure removes the infection and seals the tooth to restore its function.
