3 Benefits of Pediatric Dentistry

It's normal to question whether pediatric dentistry is right for your child. Many parents default to their primary dentist. However, our practice focuses on the specific needs of patients from one year old to twenty years old. There are various benefits to trusting our pediatric dental office, including:

1. Child-Centric Care: When you first bring your child to a dental office, they may feel fearful or apprehensive. Our entire dental team understands how to work with the unique personalities of children, including calming feelings of anxiety.
2. Oral Health Education: A lifetime of good oral health habits starts during childhood. That's why a crucial component of our services is educating your child on how to care for their smile. From answering your their questions to making education fun, we strive to build healthy oral health habits.
3. Skilled Smile Monitoring: It's important to remember that children's smiles change at a fast pace. That's why it's crucial that you monitor their smile to ensure it's developing correctly and intervening when necessary. Our pediatric dentistry team will closely monitor your child's oral development using examination techniques a technology like x-ray imaging.

Our Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services

One of the ways that we're able to provide effective and satisfying Modesto pediatric dentistry is that we create personalized treatment plans for each of our patients. When you bring in your child for their initial appointment, we'll start by asking you various questions about their oral health. Has your child complained of tooth pain? Has your child ever visited a dentist before?

From there, we'll conduct a thorough yet gentle oral exam where we'll look at their teeth, gums, jawbones, and surrounding structures. Finally, our team will present you with your child's personalized treatment, which may include services like:

• Teeth Cleanings: Teeth cleanings help maintain your child's oral health and gives our team the opportunity to monitor their smile's development. Our hygienists are skilled at working with children and strive to make their time with us as relaxing and stress-free as possible.
• Fluoride & Sealants: Two of the most effective options we offer for preventing dental complications are fluoride and sealants. Typically completed during the same appointment, fluoride and sealants help strengthen tooth enamel and create a seal around your child's tooth that prevents tooth decay.
• Baby Root Canal Treatment: Just like adults, the root canals of children are susceptible to infection. When harmful bacteria enter the tooth's pulp chamber through a dental cavity, it can infect nearby teeth without treatment. Our team will remove any infected material and protect your child's tooth from future infection.
• Dental Crowns: A dental crown is a versatile restoration that helps improve a tooth's functionality and aesthetic appeal. At Modesto Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics, we can craft quality dental crowns for children. Additionally, the natural appearance of our dental crowns helps them blend in with your child's smile.
• Tooth Extractions: One of our most important goals is to save your child's teeth whenever possible. However, various circumstances may leave tooth extraction as the best possible option. For example, if tooth decay has gone unaddressed for too long, it may be safer to extract your child's primary tooth rather than save it.
• Phase 1 & 2 Orthodontics: A hallmark of our dental practice is that we provide phase 1 and 2 orthodontics for children. Our Modesto pediatric orthodontist will work to help improve the symmetry of your child's smile through treatment options like space maintainers, braces, and retainers.
