Kids Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Your child’s twice-yearly dental checkups and cleanings help keep their oral health in the best possible shape. Our team will check for cavities, tooth eruption, bite alignment, and other age-related issues. We’ll also clean their teeth and gums to remove plaque and tartar buildup that leads to decay.
Dental Sealants
Since children often struggle to clean their back teeth effectively, we offer dental sealants for added protection! These clear coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to help keep your child’s teeth safe from bacteria and food particles that can cause cavities. It’s painless, quick, and delivers results that can last a decade.
Silver Diamine Treatment
If your child has a cavity, Dr. Heinsheimer can use silver diamine fluoride to stop the progression and preserve their growing smile. While the silver kills bacteria in its tracks, fluoride helps remineralize tooth enamel and protect against future decay. With this conservative treatment, we can provide a comfortable approach that helps strengthen your child’s smile.
Athletic Mouthguards
Our athletic mouthguards protect your child’s teeth and gums while they do what they love most: play sports. Whenever they take to the field or court, they need a custom appliance to protect their smile and absorb the pressure of hard tackles and fly balls. Our team can outfit them with a comfortable mouthguard they can wear during the game, reducing their risk of a sudden dental emergency.
Pulp Treatment
We recommend pulp treatment when your child has an infected tooth that is at risk of extraction. Dr. Heinsheimer and our team can remove the pain-causing pulp and protect the remaining healthy structure. This helps relieve discomfort and minimize future problems while keeping the tooth in place.
