Teeth Cleaning
After your child’s primary teeth have erupted, it’s typically recommended to schedule regular dental cleanings with their dentist once or twice a year. These cleanings are important for removing plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay and cavities. Our children’s dental team is dedicated to providing gentle and effective cleanings that help keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy and free of dental problems.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a powerful tool in the fight against tooth decay and cavities. To help ensure your child’s teeth stay healthy and strong, we offer fluoride applications as part of our comprehensive dental care services. Our skilled children’s dentists will work with you to determine if fluoride treatments are appropriate for your child’s unique needs, and if so, we’ll provide safe and effective applications to help protect their teeth.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are an effective way to protect your child’s teeth from decay and cavities. Placing a thin layer of plastic over the back teeth can create a barrier that helps prevent harmful bacteria from settling into the crevices and causing damage. Our experienced children’s dentists will evaluate your child’s dental health and recommend sealants if they’re a good fit. We’re committed to providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each child we see.
Fillings
Cavities caused by tooth decay can weaken a tooth’s structure and make it more prone to damage. We offer dental fillings for children to restore the tooth’s function and prevent further decay. Our skilled pediatric dentists use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to fill cavities and restore the tooth’s natural shape and function. Dental fillings allow your child to bite and chew comfortably without fearing damaging a weakened tooth.
Pediatric Crowns
If your child has a tooth damaged by cavities or injury, our experienced pediatric dentists may recommend a dental crown. Crowns are custom-fabricated to fit over the affected tooth, protecting it from further damage and restoring its strength and function. Whether your child has a baby tooth or a permanent tooth needing repair, we offer high-quality crowns that can make biting and chewing more comfortable.
Mouthguards
Protecting your child’s teeth during sports and physical activities is crucial for maintaining dental health. That’s why we offer custom mouthguards as a part of our pediatric dental services. Our skilled dentists will create a personalized mouthguard for your child to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. With a custom mouthguard, your child can participate in their favourite sports and activities with greater peace of mind knowing that their teeth are protected from potential impact and injury.
When do dentists typically expect to see a child's first tooth eruption?
Most children begin teething between 4 and 7 months of age, with their first teeth typically appearing in the lower front of the mouth. However, it’s common for some babies to begin teething as early as 3 months or as late as 12 months. It’s important to remember that every child is unique and may experience teething at their own pace.
What Are the Causes of Toothaches in Children?
Toothaches in kids can be caused by various factors, including tooth decay, gum disease, a broken or cracked tooth, a loose or knocked-out tooth, or even something as simple as food stuck between teeth. Other possible culprits include sinus infections, ear infections, and teething. If your child complains of a toothache, it’s important to schedule an appointment with Gorgeous Smiles dentists to evaluate your child’s oral health, determine the underlying cause, and provide appropriate treatment to alleviate toothache pain and prevent further dental problems. Don’t delay; call Gorgeous Smiles Dental today to schedule your child’s appointment.
