Every child may require a number of different treatments when they visit the dentist. Some treatments help prevent tooth decay and erosion, while others are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Some of the more common dental procedures that babies and children can receive at Teeth & Smile are explained below.
An x-ray is an imaging technique that uses high-energy radiation to highlight abnormalities in the bones. Dental x-rays can be used to:
• Check for holes or cavities in the teeth.
• Make sure teeth are developing in the correct position, including teeth that have not yet broken through the gums.
At our offices we may recommend that your child have occasional appointments with one of our dental hygienists. A dental hygienist works under the supervision of a dental surgeon. A dental hygienist can clean and polish your child's teeth and help remove plaque (a soft, sticky substance that occurs when bacteria builds up on teeth) to reduce the risk of cavities. A hygienist may also:
• Apply fluoride gels, varnish, and fissure sealants to children's teeth, which also helps prevent tooth decay.
• Provide tips on how your child can improve brushing technique.
Fluoride is a natural element that can help prevent tooth decay. It works by strengthening the outer surface of the tooth. It occurs naturally in food and also occurs naturally in some water supplies. The fluoride in the toothpaste is also very effective and should be used by the time a child is 2 years old, unless otherwise directed by a dentist. Use a small, pea-sized amount and make sure your child does not swallow the toothpaste. Your child will need your help with brushing until he is 7 years old. Before 2 years of age, a soft toothbrush can be used with tap water and fluoride toothpaste is not necessary unless otherwise directed by your dentist.
Ask us if you are not sure if the toothpaste you are using contains the correct amount of fluoride. Start brushing your baby's teeth as soon as they start to appear. Continue cleaning your child's teeth until they are old enough to do it themselves. This will usually be at least seven years old.
Sometimes children have deep fissures (cracks) or very uneven surfaces on their back teeth (molars). This makes it easier for small food particles to get caught in your back teeth. If your child doesn't brush their teeth thoroughly, bacteria can start to build up and cause tooth decay. A fissure sealant is a plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surface of the back teeth. Sealant application is a quick and painless procedure that creates a seal on the teeth that helps prevent tooth decay. The sealant can last several years, and can be replaced.
According to recent guidance, children and adolescents assessed as being at high caries risk should apply resin-based fissure sealant and maintain it in pits and fissures of permanent teeth. Ask us for personalized attention.
Sometimes one or more of your child's teeth may need to be extracted. This may be because they are decayed beyond repair or because the denture is too crowded.
An extraction will be performed using local anesthesia (pain-relieving medication) to numb the tooth, gum, and surrounding area. This is to ensure that children do not feel any pain. If this is not possible or in situations where multiple teeth need to be removed, your dentist may recommend a general anesthetic.

The sooner the better! Starting at birth, clean your child's gums with a soft baby toothbrush or clean washcloth and water. Parents should use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste (too much fluoride can make the baby sick) to brush their teeth twice a day as soon as they come out, with a soft, age-appropriate size toothbrush.
Although the use of fluoride has greatly reduced the incidence of caries in children, its success is limited in the deeper parts of the tooth. Sealants are recommended as a safe and easy way to help your child prevent cavities, especially on the molars, which are the hardest to reach. They are applied easily, quickly and comfortably, and can effectively protect your child's teeth for many years.
Parents should take their children to the dentist regularly, beginning with the eruption of the first tooth. The dentist can then recommend a specific schedule of brushing, flossing, and other treatments for parents to monitor and teach their children. These home treatments, when added to regular dental visits and a balanced diet, will help establish healthy lifestyle habits for your child.
Fluoride protects teeth by supplying the enamel with important nutrients and minerals. Our doctors can help you understand how much fluoride your child is getting with a regular oral exam and consultation. Toothpaste is a major source of fluoride, but many communities also add fluoride to their water supply.
When babies fall asleep with a bottle, some milk remains in their mouths and on their teeth. This can cause cavities. Once your baby has finished feeding, remove him from the breast or bottle. Additionally, although not related to the dental issue, letting a baby feed unsupervised from a bottle increases the risk of choking and ear infection.
Pacifiers can help babies calm down, which can keep your baby happy and allow them to stay more relaxed. On the other hand, prolonged use of pacifiers can cause dental problems and cause what are known as pacifier teeth. It is recommended to remove it when the baby has already fallen asleep to prevent it from becoming dependent on the pacifier.
