Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Six-month dental checkups and cleanings are always important, but they’re especially so for young kids. Aside from checking for cavities, decay, and such, they help children learn to care for their smiles at home. This effort takes the form of Dr. Bal’s tips on improving oral hygiene habits – twice daily brushing, once daily flossing, etc. By learning these practices, a young kiddo can work to keep their grin healthy at home between checkups.
Dental Sealants
Kids often struggle to clean their molars and premolars, as debris can easily get trapped in the pits and grooves of these teeth. To solve this problem, our office can provide dental sealants – thin resin coatings that apply to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. The coatings would keep out harmful bacteria and thus protect the molars and premolars from cavities. Applying them is also quick and painless, so your kiddo can quickly resume their usual routine after the treatment.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
While it’s common for kids to have dental fears, they don’t need to bear such anxiety. Fisher Dental’s nitrous oxide sedation can keep them calm during their treatment. This option relies on a mild sedative with no serious side effects, so it’ll just relax your child for dental cleaning and other procedures. The sedative also wears off very quickly once they stop inhaling it, ensuring they can return to normal activities after their procedure.
