Types of dental treatment for children
Our pediatrics who are specially trained to care for children’s teeth provide a wide variety of dental treatments, including exams, cavity fillings and tooth extractions.
- Fluoride treatment: Fluoride strengthens the enamel of children’s teeth, and it can even help reverse early damage to them.
- Sealants: Sealants are quick, painless treatments that fill in the grooves and pits of teeth to create a physical barrier against tooth decay.
- Crowns: are metal caps that cover the tooth roots of a severely decayed or damaged child molar.
We put your child's dental health first
Because children’s teeth are not as strong or resistant to decay as those of adults, regular dental check-ups every six months can help catch tooth decay or other problems early. Our dentists will take care of your child and offer the best treatment based on the child case.
It is recommended to take your child to the dentist six months after their first tooth appears or before they’re 12 months old.
