Kid’s Dental Checkups & Cleanings
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children begin visiting the dentist for routine checkups and cleanings starting at the age of one every six months. Whether you have a toddler, a school-aged child, or a teenager, our team offers gentle preventive visits that are sure to leave a smile on your little one’s face. Plus, our kid-friendly office will allow you to stress less knowing that your child will feel comfortable and right at home.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are an important cavity prevention tool that we often recommend for children who are at a higher risk of experiencing decay. They’re clear coverings for molars that are designed to keep bacteria out of nooks and crannies, preventing cavities from forming and making brushing much more effective. The treatment is quick, 100 percent pain-free, and easy, so it’s perfect for our younger patients!
Silver Diamine Fluoride
When the early signs of cavities arise, our team strives to intercept the issue before it has an opportunity to become worse with treatments like silver diamine fluoride. SDF is FDA-approved for treating dental sensitivity, and our team also utilizes it to treat minor signs of decay without a dental drill. All we’ll do is brush the liquid over the effective tooth and advise your child not to eat for about an hour after their appointment.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Does your child participate on their school’s athletics team or a local league? Consider investing in quality protection for their smile with a customized mouthguard. These are designed to fit comfortably within kids’ mouths as well as offer maximized cushioning against trauma so you don’t have to worry about an unexpected dental emergency. Plus, due to our digital impression system, the process of capturing impressions is putty-free and a breeze!
Lip & Tongue-Tie Treatment
Lip and tongue-ties are more commonly diagnosed today more than ever before, as parents are becoming more families with the signs and issues that can arise due to this concern. Dr. Chawala offers laser frenectomies to improve his young patients’ abilities to eat, speak, and sleep by allowing them to gain full mobility of their lips and tongue. If your child has been diagnosed with a lip or tongue-tie, or you believe they could have one, call our office today to learn more about diagnosis and treatment!
Pulp Treatment
Pulp treatment is used to put an end to toothaches by removing infected pulp from the center of a temporary tooth. This issue can arise due to untreated cavities, but fortunately, it doesn’t always need to be treated by extracting the tooth. Pulp treatment allows Dr. Chawala and our team to preserve your child’s dental alignment by treating and restoring the tooth, helping improve their comfort and ensure the future alignment and health of their smile.
