Proper dental care in childhood sets the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Pediatric dentistry is a special branch of preventative dental services and treatment for infants, children and teens. Kids’ dental care needs to be handled differently than adult dental care by a well-trained team.
For all pediatric cases, Dr. Michael Long and his staff have the training, experience and a friendly attitude to help put your little one at ease during routine checkups as well as complex pediatric dental treatments. Our patients are treated like family and so you can rest assured that the dental experience of your child will be as comfortable as possible.
Treatments Offered
-
Dental Cleanings
Professional tooth cleaning by a dentist removes any stubborn plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. This helps keep tooth decay at bay and improves the oral health of your kid.
-
Fluoride Application
Fluoride application helps prevent painful cavities in children’s teeth and needs to be applied twice a year.
-
Fillings
Fillings are used to bond with the natural teeth enamel in order to fill the gaps in uneven teeth and restore small portions of teeth destroyed by cavities.
-
Root Canal
Root canal is the best treatment for serious cavities and it helps prevent further damage to gums and tissues. During the root canal procedure, the affected area is cleaned, filled and capped using ceramic implants for good oral hygiene.
-
Dental Sealants
Sealants help prevent painful tooth decay in children as well as bolster their natural defenses against oral health issues, infections and diseases.
-
Dental Radiographs
Dental X-rays facilitate the diagnosis of childhood cavities, bone diseases and oral injuries that can worsen or cause other issues if not treated in time.
