Kids Sealants

Kids teeth are the most susceptible to tooth decay due to how hard it is to keep them clean. Sealants can be applied to the back teeth to form a barrier against plaque and bacteria. Keep your kids smiling bright.

Endodontics / Root Canals

Endodontics is the process of removing infected nerves in your tooth. This ensures that infected teeth will not cause an abscess, leading to bone loss and painful infections. This treatment usually lasts as long as your natural teeth. Though on occasion the tooth does not heal as expected and a follow up treatment may be required.

Our Reviews

FAQs

  • How can I get my kids to brush their teeth?

     Children love to mimic their parents. If your child sees you enthusiastically brushing your teeth, they will do the same. Be enthusiastic about brushing and flossing in front of your children and they will be enthusiastic too.

  • How can I prevent cavities?

    The best way to protect from cavities is to brush for a full 2 minutes. That is how long it takes to kill harmful bacteria on your teeth. Flossing every day will help remove hidden bacteria between the teeth.


     Another good practice is to chew sugarless gum, if you can't brush your teeth, after every meal. This will help remove food particles bacteria use to live off. Also, be sure to watch your sugar intake, bacteria love sugar.

  • What is fluoride and why is it important?

    Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in food and water. Foods such as fish, kale, and apples as well as drinks like tea and city water have fluoride in them.

     

     Fluoride can help prevent tooth decay by providing a layer of defense that protects enamel from things like plaque and bacteria.

  • How do I whiten my teeth?

    Some commercial toothpastes can be effective at whitening teeth. However, they may also destroy enamel in the process. Ask your dentist what toothpaste they suggest for whiter teeth.


     Another option is professional whitening. Depending on your lifestyle and habits, professional teeth whitening could last a few months to a few years. Ask us about the benefits of professional teeth whitening.

  • What should I do about bleeding gums?

    If you notice your gums start to bleed when you brush, you may have onset periodontal disease or gingivitis. It is best to consult a dentist immediately if this becomes an issue.
