What happens during pediatric dentistry visits?

During pediatric dentistry visits at Elmora Dental, friendly providers compassionately care for your child. They take painless dental X-rays, if needed, and use innovative dental tools to gently clean the teeth, removing difficult-to-reach tartar and plaque.

Your child’s dentist may suggest sealants or fluoride treatments to protect the teeth from decay. They also offer fillings, crowns, and other restorative dental treatments. The Elmora Dental team might make recommendations for orthodontics treatment if your child is a candidate for braces or Invisalign.

When should I schedule pediatric dental appointments?

Unless your child’s dentist suggests frequent visits because of dental health issues, book routine pediatric dental exams at Elmora Dental every six months. Call the office if you have concerns about your child’s oral health or if they develop tooth damage, signs of gum disease, or a toothache.

To maximize oral health, encourage your child to brush their teeth after eating, floss daily, wear a mouthguard if they play contact sports, and avoid chewing on hard objects.
