Dental Cleaning
Our comprehensive dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while preventing cavities. Using advanced tools like the ReLeaf system, we ensure comfortable experiences for children of all ages. Regular cleanings every six months help maintain optimal oral health and detect early signs of dental issues.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
This non-invasive treatment stops tooth decay progression without drilling. Ideal for young children and special needs patients, SDF preserves baby teeth until natural exfoliation. While staining cavities black, it effectively prevents further decay and avoids more extensive procedures.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer nitrous oxide and general anesthesia options for anxious patients or complex procedures. Our board-certified team ensures safe sedation while maintaining patient comfort. This enables comprehensive treatment in a single visit for children who cannot cooperate during routine care.
Pulpotomy
This procedure saves severely decayed primary teeth by removing infected pulp tissue. Using medicated fillings and protective crowns, we preserve tooth integrity and prevent premature loss. It avoids extraction complications while maintaining proper spacing for permanent teeth.
Sealants
Dental sealants protect molars from decay by sealing deep grooves where food accumulates. Applied painlessly without drilling, they reduce cavity risk by 86% in first year application. We recommend sealants for children aged 6-13 as permanent teeth erupt.
