Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids
Here at Rowley Family Dentistry, we welcome children starting at the age of three years old. Once they get comfortable with our dental team and understand that we’re here to help keep their pearly whites clean and healthy, we’ll start conducting full, routine dental checkups and teeth cleanings on them, including capturing X-rays and polishing their teeth.
Dental Sealants
One of the most common oral health problems among children is tooth decay, which is why our team offers dental sealants. This preventive dentistry treatment involves painting clear coatings over the biting surface of their molars to block food particles from collecting in the deep pits and grooves of them. Not only do dental sealants make tooth-brushing more effective, but they also drastically reduce the risk of cavity formation and continue protecting teeth for years.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a naturally derived mineral most popularly known for its enamel-strengthening properties. It’s produced by rocks and found in fresh fruits and vegetables, the air, and the soil. It’s also added to local water sources and oral hygiene products like toothpaste. If your child isn’t receiving enough fluoride in their daily diet, we can supplement it by placing a fluoridated varnish on their teeth after their routine dental cleaning to protect them from cavities.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dentists often fill children’s cavities with metal fillings that can not only draw attention to damaged teeth, affecting how they interact at school by impacting their confidence, but also causing unwanted side effects like dental sensitivity and tooth discoloration. Dr. Rowley believes that children should be able to smile and speak with confidence, just like adults! That’s why we offer tooth-colored cavity fillings to keep decay from spreading and seal off the inner portion of their tooth from the threat of harmful bacteria.
