The dental restorations that we conduct are done conservatively, so that there is minimal risk of something going wrong. We also perform sedation dentistry services, so that your child will experience a minimum of pain during any procedure that they must have. Our sealants are BPA free, so you do not have to worry about this potentially harmful chemical affecting the health of your child. We also have advanced techniques for the management of pain, and our fluoride applications allow for minimal ingestion of the fluoride.
Sunny Smiles’ staff will do examinations of the child’s teeth the first time that he or she visits the office. It is important that we find out the condition of the child’s teeth, including growth and any signs of decay or disease. That way, we can come up with a comprehensive plan going forward to offer the best care possible to prevent future dental issues and restore any current dental problems. You need not worry about how your child will be treated, because we believe in treating children with compassion, only using positive terms when we discuss the treatment and procedures that they will undergo.
We make it a point to explain the importance of proper dental care to kids who are old enough to understand. Our hygienists show them how to brush their teeth, as well as how to floss. Kids should start to be able to brush their teeth twice a day on their own when they are about 7 years old. However, this can vary depending on the child. Fillings may be necessary if there are cavities in the child’s teeth, and sealants can be used to help prevent them from occurring in the first place. There are amalgam and composite fillings that are offered, which offer various levels of protection and durability. Talk to the dentist about this procedure so that you know what to expect beforehand.
Children should not have to experience stress when going to the dentist’s office. With the right amount of knowledge and a gentle approach, they should handle it quite well. Make an appointment to bring your child to see a dentist at Sunny Smiles today.
