Ensuring your child receives top-quality dental care is crucial for nurturing a lifetime of a healthy, radiant smile. The first crucial step in this journey is establishing a connection with a dedicated dental team, such as the one at Middle Creek Dental.
Our compassionate professionals are committed to guiding both you and your child towards the path of proper dental care. Routine visits to a dentist lay the foundation for your child's oral health. During these visits, our dentist will conduct a thorough dental checkup and cleaning to eradicate tartar and plaque from teeth.
Consistent checkups also facilitate the proper development of teeth and gums, reducing the likelihood of future concerns. To shield your child's teeth against cavities, we may recommend dental sealants. These thin, unobtrusive coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars to aid in the prevention of tooth decay. The process takes only about 30 minutes and will not cause your child any pain.
In cases where cavities are present, dental fillings offer an effective means to rectify the issue and restore your child's compromised teeth. Dental fillings not only alleviate pain but also prevent the advancement of decay while restoring tooth functionality and appearance. Material selection is influenced by factors such as the location of the tooth, your child's age, and any potential allergies.
Options for kids typically include amalgam or composite resin. Emergency dentistry for children is available at our clinic to address accidents, injuries, or infections. These emergencies can be unsettling for both parents and children, particularly when a tooth is knocked out or broken.
