The primary goal of a children’s dentist is to educate both parent and child on proper tooth care. The facts and tooth maintenance skills learned through visiting a pediatric dentist set the stage for the child’s lifelong dental health awareness.
In addition to professional or prescription fluoride treatments, the pediatric dentistry staff at Harbor Kids Dental in Aberdeen, and Olympia, Washington, will ensure your child is using fluoridated toothpaste during their normal dental hygiene routine.
Digital X-rays are an integral part of a comprehensive dental examination. While pediatric dentists are trained to closely monitor tooth development and notice early signs of infection, some problems are only revealed through in-depth digital X-rays.
If your child chips a tooth, immediately rinse out his or her mouth with water. Locate the missing piece of tooth if possible and bring it to the dentist for possible repair.
Scheduling regular exams and dental cleanings at Harbor Kids Dental in Tacoma, Aberdeen, or Olympia, Washington, will help keep teeth in optimum health, prevent the need for potentially uncomfortable and expensive dental procedures and help to maintain a white, clean smile.
The purpose of a dental exam is to detect cavities, periodontal disease and any oral hygiene habits in need of improvement. If needed, digital X-rays are taken of your child’s jaw. The dentist discusses the results of the X-ray and recommends any additional treatment based on the findings.
At Harbor Kids Dental in Aberdeen, and Olympia, Washington, we believe all dental care should be carried out as painlessly as possible for the child. This belief extends to extractions and space maintainer placement. Using our high level of skill, we conduct routine tooth extractions on a regular basis. Extractions are a normal procedure and only completed when necessary for present and future dental health.
When children’s teeth become worn, cracked, or decayed, fillings restore the teeth and protect them against further damage and infection. Throughout the process of filling cavities, our Harbor Kids Dental team constantly works to make the process as stress-free as possible for your child.
The professionals at Harbor Kids Dental never opt for dental sedation during treatment unless it is absolutely necessary. We make every attempt to perform dental care using the least invasive treatment options available. Only when medication is vital for the child’s comfort and safety do we suggest either nitrous oxide, oral sedation or general anesthesia.
