Root Canal for Kids

Young children can lose primary (baby) teeth and even immature permanent teeth when the pulp, the living tissue inside a tooth, becomes infected. This is often the result of trauma or dental caries (tooth decay) and creates a special problem for the child.
The primary teeth provide important guides for the newly developing permanent teeth that will replace them. And injury resulting in loss of young permanent teeth can be even more troublesome, because neither tooth development, nor jaw growth is complete.

Conscious Sedation for Kids

Some children can become anxious when they see the dentist. As a result, they may not be able to relax or sit still long enough to receive treatment.
The dentist may suggest giving these children a form of medicine that can help them to relax and/or become sleepy. This is called "conscious sedation." Using conscious sedation may allow a child to become more relaxed. But the child will be able to respond to voices or stimulation and will maintain his or her protective reflexes.

Deep Cleaning

While a regular dental cleaning is for the visible portion of teeth, scaling and root planning is a special cleaning that removes plaque and tartar (also known as calculus) from under the gum line (in periodontal pockets) and smoothens the root surfaces to promote healing. A scaling procedure is the only way to remove calculus from this area.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride therapy is the delivery of fluoride to the teeth topically in order to prevent tooth decay (dental caries), which results in cavities. Most commonly, fluoride is applied topically to the teeth using gels, varnishes, toothpaste/dentifrices or mouth rinse.

What is fluoride?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral compound found in water and soil. It is also present in foods and beverages at varying concentrations. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making the entire tooth surface more resistant to acid attacks from the bacteria that live in the plaque on your teeth.

Routine Cleaning

Teeth cleaning is part of oral hygiene and involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the purpose of preventing cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease. People routinely clean their own teeth by brushing and inter dental cleaning, and dental hygienists can remove hardened deposits (tartar) not removed by routine cleaning.
