SPECIAL NEEDS DENTISTRY

CLEANINGS PREVENTION

A dental examination is included in a package deal for teeth cleaning. In addition, the following benefits can be achieved with preventative treatment:

The Dentist evaluates the child's and caregiver's Oral Habits

Dentists provide their caregivers with input and feedback while assessing the child's teeth. They will give their parents advice on how to teach their kids about proper eating, oral hygiene, and other essential topics. The dentist will offer suggestions and directions about developmental milestones and at-home dental examinations.

The Dentist monitors children's mouths as they grow and develop

X-rays may occasionally be taken during the exam portion of a regular dental examination. A pediatric dentist will use these photos to monitor the development of the child's teeth and jaws. X-rays also give dentists information they can use to identify orthodontic issues in the early stages.

Plaque and Tartar are prevented by Dental cleaning

Some teeth's surfaces are challenging to access because of where they are located in the mouth. Children with orthodontic issues may find it challenging to clean the tight spaces that emerge between misaligned teeth.

The Dentist evaluates the child's and caregiver's Oral Habits

Cleaning your teeth is less expensive than getting treatment for gum disease, cavities, or missing teeth. In addition, youngsters who visit the dentist for regular dental exams are likelier to continue practicing as they age.

RESTORATIONS

RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY FOR CHILDREN

We take pride in providing top-notch restorative dentistry. Restorative dentistry is a subspecialty that focuses on restoring the health and functionality of your child's smile after a tooth injury, tooth decay, or tooth loss. To address your child's specific dental needs, we provide a variety of therapeutic dental treatments.

REASONS FOR RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY:

Dental Fillings and Crowns

Local Anesthesia

ORTHODONTICS

WHY IS EARLY ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT BENEFICIAL?

When a child is seven years old, they should see an orthodontist to evaluate any potential teeth and jaw issues. Early orthodontic intervention is helpful since a young child's teeth have not fully emerged, allowing orthodontists to direct the growth of the face and jawbones to correct any issues at the earliest possible point.

IF AN ORTHODONTIST NOTICES ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS IN A KID WHO STILL HAS BABY TEETH, THEY MAY ADVISE TREATMENT:

Underbites and Crossbites

Little Front Teeth

DENTAL ANXIETY AND FEAR

Fears Are Usual, Especially In Young Children. Some People's Anxieties Result From Significant Life Changes, Being Away From Their Parents, Or Even The Terrifying Monster In The Closet. While Many Children Will Overcome Their Anxiety As They Age, It Can Be Challenging To Teach Them Coping Skills When They Are Young.

WHAT CAN PARENTS AND THEIR DENTIST DO TO HELP?

A Dental Appointment May Go Much Easier When The Parents And The Child's Dentist Collaborate To Discuss And Coordinate Care. Both People Are Essential In Calming And Guiding A Youngster Through Their Dental Operations.

Tip # 1: Knocked Out Permanent Tooth

If possible, find the tooth. Handle it by the crown, not by the root. You may rinse the tooth with water only. DO NOT clean with soap, scrub, or handle the tooth unnecessarily. Inspect the tooth for fractures. If it is sound, try to reinsert it in the socket. Have the patient hold the tooth, and transport the tooth in a cup containing the patient’s saliva or milk. If the patient is old enough, the tooth may also be carried in the patient’s mouth (beside the cheek). The patient must see our office IMMEDIATELY! Time is a critical factor in saving the tooth. Knocked Out Baby Tooth: Contact our office during business hours. This is not usually an emergency, and in most cases, no treatment is necessary.

Tip #2: Chipped/Broken Tooth

Rinse mouth with water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If possible, locate and save any broken tooth fragments and bring them with you to the dentist.

Tip #3: Dental Concussion

A tooth has been bumped and may or may not be loose. Oftentimes, the gums may bleed. Gently cleanse area with a cotton swab. Maintain good oral hygiene and a soft food diet. Contact our office for further assistance.

Tip #4: Wear a Mouth guard

If your child plays a sport, we recommend a mouth guard to reduce dental and facial injuries. We make custom fit mouthguards suited for your child’s needs.
