Children’s Checkups & Cleanings
Just like with adults, checkups and cleanings are an important part of maintaining good dental health. Your child is at a greater risk of developing cavities and other oral health concerns as soon as their teeth begin to erupt. Our team will not only clean and examine their mouth, but we’ll also help them build good hygiene habits that will serve them well into adulthood.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants can help dramatically decrease your child’s risk of decay, as they provide reliable protection to the back molars over the span of several years. The process is quick, pain-free, and can be completed in a single short appointment!
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is essential for children, as they’re at a higher risk of developing cavities while they’re still learning how to take proper care of their smile. This naturally derived mineral helps strengthen the protective outer coating of their teeth, enamel, to guard against cavities and prevent dental sensitivity. Our team will offer it after each of their cleanings for continued protection.
Athletic Mouthguards
If your child participates in athletics at their school or in the community, you’ll want to make sure their teeth and mouth are well-protected with a customized sportsguard. This cushioning oral appliance can dramatically decrease your child’s chances of sustaining a jaw, face, or dental injury, helping you watch them compete without the anxiety of an unexpected visit to the emergency dentist hanging over your head.
Frenectomies/Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment
Lip and tongue ties are most commonly diagnosed in infants. Parents most often notice the symptoms when they’re having trouble nursing, as soon as they start to speak, or whenever they begin to eat solid foods. Fortunately, our team of knowledgeable dentists can easily treat the issue with a fast, simple, and painless frenectomy. To learn more about this issue, schedule a consultation today!
Pulp Therapy
If your child is complaining of a toothache, they may have a tooth infection that requires pulp therapy. This treatment strategically removes the infected portion of their pulp, which is a collection of nerves and soft tissue within the tooth. Afterwards, your child will no longer be in pain, and they’ll be able to retain their tooth until it’s time for it to naturally fall out, preventing orthodontic issues from arising due to premature tooth loss.
Sedation Dentistry for Children
Dental fear, anxiety, and nervousness can all play a role in making each of your child’s visits uncomfortable. Our team is happy to offer safe children’s dental sedation in Sycamore to help soothe their nerves and provide them with an overall more positive experience.
