Why should my child see a pediatric dentist?

Pediatric dentists specialize in children’s dental care and the common dental issues that children experience. Pediatric dental offices are kid-friendly from equipment to decor. Early orthodontic monitoring is another focus of pediatric dentists.

What is the best age to get braces or Invisalign?

Orthodontic treatment can begin as early as age 7, but braces or Invisalign tend to be applied in adolescence because most patients have all of their permanent teeth by then and the growth spurts that occur at this age are advantageous to treatment. Adults can also get braces or Invisalign.

How often should my child go to the dentist?

By their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in, a child should have their first dental exam. From that point forward they should see a dentist every 6 months for routine dental cleanings and exams.

Pediatric Dental Services

Preventive and Diagnostic. Regular cleanings and exams can help keep teeth healthy and provide early detection of cavities or other issues that may need attention.

Restorative. Procedures like cavity fillings and root canals repair damaged teeth and allow them to stay in place. Both baby teeth and permanent teeth should be restored when necessary.

Sedation and Hospital. In cases of dental anxiety or for complex or lengthy procedures, sedation may be helpful and necessary. Mild forms of sedation are provided in the office, but deep sedation may need to be administered in a hospital setting.

Special Needs. We provide dental care for children with special needs. Our experience allows us to meet the unique needs of all patients, working closely with parents and your child’s doctor.

Pediatric Orthodontic Services

Early Treatment. Your child’s first orthodontic evaluation should take place by the age of 7. Whether or not they require early treatment, regular monitoring is helpful to determine when and if treatment should begin.

Interceptive Orthodontics. When orthodontic treatment begins early, it helps to guide growth in a positive way that can reduce or even prevent the need for future orthodontic treatment.

Braces. Traditional metal braces and clear brackets are still the most common type of orthodontic treatment. Patients who need braces will typically get them in the preteen or teenage years depending on their individual needs.

Invisalign. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that is available as an alternative to braces. Clear plastic aligners are worn over the teeth to shift them into proper alignment. Invisalign and Invisalign Teen can treat most common orthodontic conditions.

Retention. After orthodontic treatment, retainers must be worn to maintain the placement of the teeth and prevent them from shifting back to their previous position.
