Children’s Dentistry in Cambridge, ON
Children deserve adequate dental care. At Dental Art Clinic in Cambridge, ON, we believe their dental health needs even more attention than that of adults. That’s why we have dentists equipped with experience and the right tools to provide children’s dentistry in Cambridge, ON.
There are many things we can do to keep your children’s teeth in great shape. These include things like dental sealants and fluoride treatments. We also recommend that you bring your children for their check-ups based on the schedule we agree on together. While adults need to come in every six months, children might have to come in more frequently.
Fluoride Treatments and Dental Sealants
Both of these are prophylactic or preventive treatments we offer at our Cambridge dental office. Your children have a much better chance of maintaining healthy teeth into adulthood with these treatments. Fluoride treatments are simple. They rely on the application of high concentrations of fluoride to teeth.
Fluoride is applied to your child’s teeth using gel or via small cups that are placed over teeth. Don’t try to do these treatments at home without supervision. Using too much fluoride is harmful and leads to multiple permanent side effects like pitting of the teeth.
Dental sealants are all about applying composite resin to fill grooves present in hind teeth. These grooves are naturally present in all of us, but bacteria can use them to hide. By sealing them, we protect your children from the potential harm these bacteria can cause.
Fluoride treatments and dental sealants aren’t one-time procedures. Children will need several of these as they grow.
Regular Dentistry
We deal with regular dental conditions in children too. These include things like cavities, toothaches, chipped teeth, and more. We have the training to serve your entire family and to take care of all of its dental needs.
Keeping up with regular dental exams and cleanings will help us detect dental issues as early as possible. The earlier we treat them, the better the outcome. Keeping children’s teeth in great health will help them keep their teeth in the best possible shape in adulthood.
