What is Special About Pediatric Dental Service?
Dr. Char and his team offer age-appropriate care to help your child become accustomed to visiting the dentist and reduce anxiety during dental treatment. We place special importance on setting the stage for a relaxing, fun, interactive visit. From educating you and your child about healthy food choices for growing teeth to the best at-home oral care routine, our services can provide everything you need to protect your child’s oral health.
A dental appointment for your child may include:
- Exam with x-rays
- Professional cleaning
- Fluoride treatment
- Sealants
- Orthodontic monitoring
We use routine appointments to monitor changes in your child’s oral health to catch problems in their beginning stages. Early detection helps us avoid more involved treatments down the road, which can preserve oral health and save time and money. When treatment is required, we talk to you and your child about the procedure in a way that is easy to understand. Being prepared and educated helps your child feel confident about the procedure and reduces anxiety.
Most Common Pediatric Dental Solutions
Cavities are a regular problem for children, which is why prevention and early intervention are important elements of a routine exam. Other dental health issues in children include:
- Misalignment
- Early or delayed loss of baby teeth
- Early or delayed eruption of adult teeth
- Damage from thumb-sucking or pacifier use
- Teeth grinding
When problems are diagnosed, we create treatment plans to correct and help prevent further damage to your child’s teeth. We also create custom mouth guards for children active in sports to help protect their mouths from injuries.
Emergency Dental Visits for Children
It is our goal to keep your child’s primary teeth intact because they set the stage for developing adult teeth. If your child describes pain in their mouth or has had an accident while playing, please contact our emergency dentist in Odessa.
