Do you need an expert children’s dentist to provide your child with preventive and other dental care? If the answer is “yes,” make an appointment to visit us at XXXX XXXX. At our pediatric dental office in Laurel, your child will have gentle dental exams and dental cleanings. We also offer tooth-saving dental sealants.
It’s very important that your children’s teeth stay healthy; this includes baby teeth. Baby teeth play several very important roles in your child’s mouth. Perhaps, most importantly, they act as placeholders for specific permanent teeth which have yet to come in. For this reason alone you want to be sure that your child’s baby teeth and gums stay as healthy as possible.
At our pediatric dental office we offer several different types of dental treatments to keep your child’s teeth healthy. One of these treatments is dental sealants. Dental sealants are actually painted on to your child’s teeth in a pain-free and comfortable procedure. The sealants act as a physical barrier between your child’s teeth and the harmful substances found in tooth plaque.
Dental sealants are used to protect the flat chewing surfaces of premolars and molars. The dental sealants fill in all pits and grooves in your child’s teeth; this makes it more difficult for plaque to stick to these surfaces, as well.
Dental sealants are easily applied to your child’s teeth in just a few short steps. First your child’s teeth are cleaned and dried. Then the dental sealants are applied to your child’s teeth; the sealants will quickly dry. That’s it! And the protection they offer will last for many years.
At our dental office we also offer fluoride treatments. These treatments are extremely effective in strengthening tooth enamel. Having periodic dental cleanings is also important; the cleanings remove all plaque, tartar, bacteria and food debris from your child’s teeth. Of course, this will help prevent dental cavities and even gum problems.
