Aspects of Pediatric Preventative Dentistry
At Elite Dental Pediatrics, our pediatric preventive dental care services include:
Cleaning & Hygiene:
Dental cleanings and regular oral hygiene practices are known to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Our dental hygienists provide gentle yet complete cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup. We also take the time to teach your child the best hygiene routine for their oral health.
Digital X-rays:
Digital X-rays help us to detect dental problems early on when they are easier to treat. With our digital X-rays, we can capture detailed images of your child's teeth and jaws with minimal radiation exposure.
Fluoride Treatment:
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and protects against cavities. At Elite Dental Pediatrics, we offer fluoride treatments to give your child's teeth an extra layer of defense against decay. Our fluoride treatments are quick and painless and provide long-lasting protection.
Periodontal Care:
Healthy gums play a key role in your child’s overall oral health. At our practice, we focus on preventing and treating gum disease to keep their smiles healthy. Our team conducts thorough gum examinations to catch any issues early on.
Night Guards:
Nighttime teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can damage your child's teeth over time. To help prevent this, we've got custom-made night guards crafted to protect those pearly whites and stop the wear and tear from grinding. Our night guards are comfy to wear and do a great job of safeguarding your child's teeth as they sleep, keeping their smile bright and healthy.
Sports Guards:
Engaging in sports and physical activities can increase your child's chance of dental injuries. Our custom sports guards provide excellent protection from impacts, lowering the risk of broken teeth, lip cuts, and jaw injuries.
