What happens during kids and children’s dentistry visits?

Friendly Smiling Molar Dental staff greet children during each dental visit. They relax in a comfortable dental chair while providers review your child’s oral health history and symptoms. They take dental X-rays when needed, examine children’s teeth and gums, and gently clean their teeth using specialized dental tools.

Additional preventive dentistry services available for kids and children include fluoride treatments and sealants, both of which significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay.

If your child has an oral health problem requiring treatment, their dentist might recommend a filling, dental bonding, crowns, root canals, orthodontics treatment, or other restorative and cosmetic dental procedures to keep their teeth and smiles beautiful. 

Smiling Molar Dental providers personalize dental treatments to match your child’s needs, lifestyle, and desired outcome.

How can children keep their smiles healthy?

Have your child practice good oral hygiene habits at home to keep their smile healthy and beautiful. Encourage them to brush after meals (help children brush their teeth until they turn 7 or 8 years old), floss every day, and see their dentist every six months for cleanings. 

Kids should avoid chewing on ice, popcorn kernels, hard candies, and other hard objects to protect their teeth. Children who grind their teeth or play contact sports should wear a mouthguard to protect teeth from trauma and wear and tear.

To keep your child’s smile healthy and reduce the risk of tooth decay and other oral health problems, schedule kids and children’s dentistry visits with Smiling Molar Dental. Call the office to book an appointment or schedule one online today.
