Oral Health Promotion
Did you know that baby teeth are more prone to cavities than adult teeth? Education and preventive treatments at an early age like cleanings, examinations, fluoride, and low radiation digital x-rays are part of each child’s regular check-ups. If your family has preferences for certain products, please let our team know at scheduling so we can try to accommodate your child’s needs.
Fluoride
We like to end our cleaning appointments with special vitamins! Fluoride treatments are effective in protecting teeth from weakening as a result of acid and sugars that remain on the teeth after eating and drinking. If you have questions about fluoride and current guidelines and recommendations for its use, please ask!
Dental Sealants
Your teeth are groovy! Dental sealants are carefully applied on permanent molars to prevent food from sticking to the deep grooves and pits of teeth. Sealants make it easier to keep teeth clean and cavity free.
Diet Consultation
Foods, snacks and beverages – oh my! Seems like everything kids eat these days can cause cavities. What’s a parent to do? Dr. Lisa takes her time to educate families on making nutritional choices and incorporating these decisions into their busy lives. Fostering a healthy and well-balanced diet for children from an early age helps form habits that result in a lifetime of strong teeth and overall better health.
