Pediatric Dentistry in St. Charles, IL
As your child's dentist, we put a lot of effort into preventative care. The earlier common dental problems are identified, the less expensive and conservatively they can be treated.
During your child's routine checkup, our family dentist provides pediatric services such as:
Six Month Exams
Your child's smile will change as he or she grows (not to mention the adult teeth developing underneath). We are able to monitor changes in your child's oral anatomy through regular exams each year, in case any interceptive treatments are required.
Preventative Cleanings
We pace your child's visit in an upbeat, comfortable, and on-time manner. We'll go over essential oral hygiene skills during their cleaning to help them develop healthy habits that will last well into adulthood.
Protective Dental Sealants
Applying a protective seal to the deep grooves of back teeth can help prevent decay from forming. Sealed teeth are simple to clean, and the sealant is applied in just a few minutes. There is no need for numbing!
Fluoride Treatments
Following your child's cleaning, we'll apply fluoride to help with strong enamel development and decay resistance. If your child is wearing braces or is prone to cavities, we can even write a prescription for at-home use.
Protective Mouthguards
When it comes to athletic equipment, a custom mouthguard is one of the best investments you can make. Not only can specially fitted mouthpieces reduce the risk of injured teeth, but they can also reduce the risk of concussions.
Digital X-rays
Using low-radiation dental radiography, we can assess your child's developing oral anatomy and identify problems before they become more serious. Digital technology can reduce radiation by up to 90%.
