Expert in Child Dentistry

The goal of pedodontic dentistry is to treat and prevent oral diseases in children and newborns.

In order to prevent dental issues in the future, certain methods must be used to direct dental growth and development during a child's "growth" phase.

A lifetime of healthy teeth and gums for the entire family can be built on a solid foundation of preventive dentistry.

With a reasonable level of care, children today should expect to keep their natural teeth for life and avoid complex and costly procedures in the future.

Orthodontic Screening

Detecting the problems early with emerging teeth or jaw misalignment can also mean any orthodontic treatment required can be completed in a shorter time frame. This allows for a wider choice of treatment options to be considered.

Tooth Sealants

Tooth sealants or fissure sealants are the protective barrier that fills the grooves of back teeth, making them easier to clean. Applying them to the biting surface of back teeth where the cavities are most commonly found can prevent the teeth from getting caries.

Fissure Sealants is a tooth-colored resin material used to fill in the grooves and cracks of the biting surfaces of children’s teeth to prevent tooth decay starting in these hard-to-reach places.
