Plus, routine dental cleanings and checkups from our experts will make sure their smile remains healthy as it continues to develop.
Dental Sealants
Cavities are one of the most common oral health problems among children and are often the result of a build-up of food debris (especially sugars and carbohydrates) in the crevices of the teeth. To help keep this from happening, we can apply dental sealants to at-risk teeth to act as an umbrella-like covers that makes them easier to clean as well as prevents cavity-causing build-up. The process is 100% pain-free and quick as well!
Athletic Mouthguards / Sportsguards
Does your child participate in athletics at their school or on a local sports league? Protect their smile and avoid an unexpected dental emergency situation by investing in a customized athletic mouthguard. These are designed to be comfortable when worn, as well as provide your child’s growing smile with top-tier protection, helping prevent jaw and dental trauma while they’re on the field or court.
Pulp Treatment
If your child is suddenly complaining of a persistent and painful toothache that won’t seem to go away, it could be due to an infection that is hiding deep within the inner chamber of their tooth. Within this chamber the pulp of the tooth is housed, which is a collection of soft tissues and nerves, which can become attacked and cause pain. Dr. AJ and our team can help ease that pain by removing the infected portion of the pulp and restoring the tooth’s structure, also known as pulp treatment.
