Here are some of the children's dental services we offer right here at our Arlington practice:

• Dental Exams and Cleanings: Twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining your child's oral health. They allow our team to check for cavities, monitor your child's oral development, and thoroughly clean those pearly whites to help keep the teeth and gums healthy and sound.  
• Fluoride Treatments: Topical fluoride applications offer a safe and highly effective way to strengthen your child's tooth enamel and help prevent cavities. Fluoride treatments also help reverse early tooth decay in a process known as remineralization.
• Dental Sealants: The chewing surfaces of the back teeth have grooves and crevices that trap plaque and food debris, making these areas prone to decay. Dental sealants are thin protective coatings we apply to the chewing surfaces of permanent molars, creating a barrier to safeguard your child's smile against cavities.
• Dental Fillings: We offer tooth-colored fillings made from a composite resin material to repair tooth decay and cavities. We closely match our aesthetic restorations to your child's natural teeth, delivering seamless smiles.
• Stainless Steel Crowns: Your child may need a stainless steel crown to preserve a weak or damaged baby tooth until it's ready to fall out naturally. These pre-made restorations come in different sizes and are easily placed in a single appointment.
• Space Maintainers: If your little one loses a baby tooth before its adult replacement is ready to come in, we may recommend a space maintainer to preserve the space. This helps prevent the neighboring teeth from shifting and causing future alignment concerns.
• Patient Education: Our kid-friendly team loves to teach children how to best care for their smiles. We're always happy to demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and offer tips on smile-healthy habits.
