Exams

• The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends all children to have a dental check up every 6 months.

Cleanings

• Children cleaning start during toddler years. 
  
• Special instruments are used to remove plaque and tarter. We will also review brushing and flossing technique.
  

X-rays

• In addition to detecting cavities, x-ray are needed to diagnose developmental problems, bone disease, and plan for orthodontic treatment. 
• The amount of radiation from dental x-rays is extremely small.

Topical Fluoride Varnish

• Fluoride is a natural element that prevents tooth decay.  It reduces mineral loss in teeth and minimizes acid damage from bacteria. 
• Children with high risk for decay will benefit from topical fluoride treatment.

Sealants

• Sealants can “seal off” tiny grooves and pits in certain teeth that are difficult to clean even with careful brushing and flossing. 
• Sealant application is quick and simple. After the tooth is cleaned and dried, sealant is added to the tooth and allowed to harden with a special light.
