Fluoride Treatments for Kids
One of the most effective anti-cavity treatments is the use of fluoride for children. This safe and easy protective measure enhances the strength of tooth enamel, which may otherwise be damaged by common bacteria that feeds on the sugars of foods and drinks we put in our mouths. Additionally, fluoride can even reverse early signs of tooth decay. Our staff recommends fluoride treatment for toddlers and children of all ages.
Restorative Dentistry & Cavity Treatment for Kids
Did you know that cavities are actually an infection? Worse still, cavities on baby teeth can actually infect new adult teeth. The goal of restorative dental care and cavity treatment for children, such as fillings, crowns and baby root canals, is to eliminate disease and prevent lifelong oral health problems. Our kids’ cavity treatments are conducted in a manner that is as least invasive as possible. While we understand these processes can be uncomfortable for some children, they are critical treatments that maintain optimal oral health. During your children’s cavity treatment appointment we will further discuss methods of at-home prevention, giving you and your child the tools and resources necessary to maintain a healthy smile for years to come.
Sedation Dentistry for Kids
If your child has fears of visiting the dentist, we offer sedation dentistry for children in Gilbert. Sedation dentistry may involve the use of nitrous oxide, conscious oral sedation or an IV sedation. These methods are safe and effective at making sure your child has a good experience and the desired results of the appointment are achieved. If you have any questions or concerns about kids’ sedation dentistry, please don’t hesitate to contact our pediatric dental team.
Infant & Baby Dentist
Parkland Pediatric Dental begins seeing new patients as early as six months old. Beginning dental care at such a young age is crucial to ensuring healthy teeth and gums as the baby begins teething and beyond. Often referred to as age 1 visits, these first dental appointments for a baby are also a great time for us to educate and inform parents about infant oral health needs and disease prevention methods. Continuing care appointments should be scheduled with our team to maximize the effectiveness of your child’s dental exams and treatments and ensure they remain cavity and gum disease free.
