Child-Focused Dentistry
WHY FINDING A DENTAL HOME FOR YOUR CHILD IS IMPORTANT
When your child can see the same team for dental checkups throughout their childhood, they become familiar with the people and the place and are far more likely to enjoy dental visits. Through great experiences, they develop positive associations with dentistry and healthy dental habits that will keep them smiling all the way into adulthood.
As a pediatric dental office, our team has completed extensive additional training to be able to effectively meet the unique needs of growing smiles. You can rest assured that as a child-focused dental practice, our number one priority is giving your child the best possible care.
Preventive Care
CREATING HEALTHY SMILES FOR LIFE
A proactive approach to oral health with regular preventive care appointments will ensure your child’s teeth and gums remain healthy. This includes regular professional dental evaluations and cleanings to remove any plaque and tartar buildup. Another important part of preventive care for kids and families is education. Our team is here to support you and your children to develop positive at-home dental routines, including through dietary counseling to help your child to avoid cavities.
Fluoride Varnish
PROTECTS YOUNG TEETH FROM CAVITIES
Fluoride varnish is a safe and effective way to strengthen your child’s tooth enamel. We apply the varnish directly to the teeth, and it only takes a few minutes from start to finish, making it quick and easy. Fluoride varnish is just one of the preventive treatments we use at our dental office to protect your child’s teeth against decay.
Dental Sealants
SHIELD TEETH FROM DECAY
Dental sealants are resin coatings directly applied to the molars (the chewing surfaces). They act as protective layers that stop harmful bacteria from becoming lodged in the tiny crevices of the teeth. These areas can be difficult to reach with a regular toothbrush, making them vulnerable to cavities. Dental sealants are a long-lasting treatment and can significantly reduce the risks of oral health issues for your child.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
ALMOST-INVISIBLE RESTORATIONS
If tooth decay does develop, your child may need a filling. Fillings are minor restorations that repair the enamel and protect it from future decay. At We Make Kids Smile, we offer tooth-colored fillings, which are popular with both patients and parents for good reason. These restorations are almost invisible once complete and will merge beautifully with your child’s natural smile.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
STOPS TOOTH DECAY
Silver diamine fluoride is a colorless, alkaline liquid used to stop active tooth decay if it’s found during your child’s dental evaluation. It is a safe, painless, and noninvasive treatment that also helps to prevent future cavity formation. This helps your child avoid more extensive dental work in the future. It is particularly useful for cavities in hard-to-reach places in little mouths.
Pulp Therapy
REDUCES PAIN AND IMPROVES ORAL HEALTH
When the inner tissue, or pulp, of your child’s tooth becomes infected or inflamed, your dentist may recommend pulp therapy. This is a treatment that removes the inflamed tissue and reduces any pain your child is experiencing. Most importantly, pulp therapy allows us to preserve the tooth and avoid the need for extraction.
Dental Crowns
REINFORCE WEAKENED TEETH
For children who have a severely damaged or decayed tooth, a dental crown may be necessary. At We Make Kids Smile, we use stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns. We will evaluate your child’s specific needs to determine and recommend the best type of crown for their case. Dental crowns restore vital oral function so your kid can continue to eat their favorite foods and maintain a healthy smile.
Gentle Extractions
WHEN TEETH NEED TO GO
Our dentists always strive to save damaged teeth, but sometimes extractions are necessary as a last resort. As always, patient comfort is our top priority here at We Make Kids Smile. Backed by specialized pediatric education and extensive experience, our team uses the latest techniques to ensure your child has a stress-free experience.
Mouth Guards
KEEP YOUNG SMILES INTACT
It’s important to protect your child’s smile as they play sports. With a custom mouth guard, you can help your child avoid extensive tooth and jaw damage. Because each mouth guard is custom made, you can be sure your child’s mouth guard will fit comfortably and stay in place. Mouth guards give parents peace of mind and allow kids to enjoy their sports and activities with confidence.
Nitrous Oxide
SAFE, COMFORTABLE SEDATION FOR KIDS
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, effectively helps children feel more relaxed and comfortable during treatment. It is a very gentle sedation option that is completely safe for children. Once treatment is over, the effects wear off quickly, and kids can resume their normal activities.
