Services
Fluoride Treatments
Our fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay through remineralization. We apply topical fluoride varnish during routine checkups, with treatment frequency determined by each child's individual cavity risk. This preventive service works effectively with systemic fluoride from water sources to protect developing teeth.
Dental Sealants
We apply dental sealants to protect molars from cavities by sealing deep grooves where bacteria accumulate. This quick, painless procedure creates smooth tooth surfaces that are easier to clean. Sealants typically last 3-5 years and are recommended for permanent molars as soon as they erupt.
Digital X-Rays
Our digital X-ray technology provides detailed images of developing teeth and jaw structures with minimal radiation exposure. These images help detect hidden cavities, monitor tooth development, and plan orthodontic treatment. The digital format allows immediate viewing and image enhancement for better diagnosis.
Interceptive Orthodontics
We provide early orthodontic intervention to guide jaw development and prevent future alignment issues. This includes space maintainers for premature tooth loss and orthopedic appliances to create proper spacing for permanent teeth. Treatment typically begins around age 7 when malocclusions become detectable.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver diamine fluoride offers a non-invasive cavity treatment that stops decay progression without drilling. We apply this medicated solution to affected areas, combining silver's antibacterial properties with fluoride's remineralizing effects. While effective for early-stage cavities, it may cause permanent dark staining of treated areas.
