Dental Checkups & Cleanings for Kids
Your child can expect a more enjoyable dental visit while seated in our treatment chair. When administering six-month dental checkups and cleanings in Plano, our dentists will explain any issues that may exist before recommending appropriate and timely treatment. We’ll also clear their teeth and gumline of any built-up plaque and tartar so that the chances of gum disease decline. With twice-yearly visits, we can closely monitor the trajectory of your child’s smile.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants can protect chewing teeth against cavities and decay, and they can also remain in place for up to a decade. This not only shields their molars and premolars from harmful debris and bacteria but also allows your child to improve their brushing habits over time. As a result, they will eventually begin to clean these back teeth properly, delivering optimal protection in the years ahead.
Fluoride Treatments
Applying fluoride to your child’s growing teeth is one of the best ways to protect their pearly whites from developing cavities. Found in toothpaste, food, and tap water, your child may not be getting enough exposure to fluoride’s powerful effects, which is why additional treatment during a regular exam is recommended. It takes only seconds to apply but offers protection for 6+ months.
Frenectomies (Lip & Tongue-Tie Treatment)
Improving your child’s oral movement (i.e., lip and/or tongue) is the kind of result you can expect when pursuing a frenectomy. The banded tissue that exists beneath the tongue or behind the upper lip can remain tight and restricted; however, with the use of our soft tissue laser, our dentists can quickly and easily release the “frenulum,” encouraging greater oral mobility for easier nursing, eating, speaking, or breathing.
Athletic Mouthguards
Proper mouth protection will ensure your child avoids the emergency dentist’s office and maintains a beautiful, damage-free smile. With a custom athletic mouthguard, our team can equip your child or teenager with an appliance that fits over their teeth and shields against any kind of hit that might otherwise knock out a tooth or cause it to chip or crack. Just like helmets, knee pads, and shin guards are essential for any game, so is an athletic mouthguard.
