Preventative Dental Care
Our team puts your child first and takes every step to help them feel comfortable. Check out the treatments we offer and how we'll help keep your child's teeth strong and healthy for life.
Pediatric Infant Exams
Early dental care is the best way to nurture healthy smiles. Our special pediatric infant exams create a positive experience for your little ones. We'll track their oral development from their first tooth, provide age-appropriate guidance, and address any concerns.
Never underestimate the power of a positive dental experience! Introducing your child to our friendly dental office builds a foundation of trust to help them smile for life.
Dental Exams & Cleanings
Regular dental exams and cleanings maintain your child's oral health. Dr. Thornton and her team examine the teeth to check for signs of dental issues and address them early.
Regular cleanings remove plaque buildup and stains, leaving your child's teeth fresh and squeaky clean. We'll make every visit enjoyable to create good dental habits that last a lifetime.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a powerful ally in the fight against tooth decay. Dr. Thornton tailors fluoride treatments to help strengthen your child's tooth enamel. This makes it more resistant to cavities.
We apply fluoride to suit your child's needs, ensuring optimal protection for their growing teeth. The process is safe and completely pain-free!
Digital X-Rays
Advanced digital X-rays minimize your child's radiation exposure and give us insight into their dental health.
These high-resolution images allow us to detect hidden concerns and plan timely interventions. Our commitment to safety and precision means your child gets the best possible care.
Sealants
Protecting those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies is crucial in preventing cavities. Dental sealants cover the chewing surfaces of your child's back teeth to protect against decay. These thin coatings keep bacteria and food particles at bay to prevent cavities.
Space Maintainers
When children lose primary teeth early, space maintainers come to the rescue. These customized devices preserve the space for permanent teeth.
This ensures a healthy and well-aligned smile as your child grows. Our expertise and compassionate approach make the process seamless and comfortable for your child.
HealthyStart® Oral Appliances
The HealthyStart® System is a series of non-invasive oral appliances. The trays promote oral health and proper growth and development in your child. These innovative appliances address common childhood oral issues such as:
- Teeth grinding
- Mouth breathing
- Snoring
- Sleep apnea
