Casper Children's Dental Clinic

Dental Examination
Each preventive care visit is important for keeping tabs on oral health. Here at Casper Children’s Dental Clinic we like to reward each child for having a perfect checkup. When their dental exam shows that they have been brushing and flossing and have no cavities to report, they become a member of our No Cavity Club!
X-rays
Appropriate dental x-rays are taken to check for tooth-decay and possible periodontal problems. Your child’s bite (occlusion) will be closely monitored at each visit, and interceptive strategies will be recommended when needed. Also, the eruption of your child’s teeth will be assessed to ensure their proper alignment in the dental arch.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer knows no age, which is why it’s important that your teen receive an oral cancer screening during their regular checkup. With thousands of people being diagnosed each year, early detection is key if you want to increase your chances of beating the disease. During your teen’s regular visit, we will look for any abnormalities throughout the mouth, along the facial structure, and even ask about any problems they may be experiencing at home (i.e., hoarse voice, sore throat, etc.). Should we discover anything that might be a cause for concern, we will recommend you and your teen to a specialist for further testing.

Teeth Cleaning
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children receive six-month dental checkups and cleanings to help minimize the risk of tooth decay and cavities. Drs. Roy and Ryne Paulson will make these visits fun, enjoyable, and informative. We will check for any potential problems associated with your child’s teeth, gums, or bite before performing a gentle cleaning to remove hardened plaque and tartar. We’ll also provide helpful at-home oral hygiene tips to keep smiles clean between appointments.
Fluoride Treatment
Cavity prevention is the most essential element of pediatric dentistry. Kids are very cavity-prone, and we want to help strengthen their enamel and prevent tooth decay. Twice-yearly visits for cavity prevention, including cleanings and fluoride treatments, are the foundation of preventive pediatric dentistry in Casper, WY and are usually covered by most dental insurance plans.
Dental Sealants
By forming a thin covering over the pits and fissures of a tooth, sealants keep out plaque and food particles, thus decreasing the risk of decay. The covering is only over the biting surface of the tooth, and the areas on the side and between the teeth are not coated with the sealant. Good oral hygiene and nutrition are still very important to preventing decay next to these sealants or the areas that are unable to be covered.
Space Maintainers
The Paulsons use a variety of fixed (glued-in) space maintainers to preserve your child’s arch integrity and space. Included in their armamentarium are space maintainers that can be fabricated and cemented the same day of the extraction and other bi-lateral (two-sided) spacer maintainers in Casper, WY that are custom-made for each patient in their dental lab.

Fillings
Casper Children’s Dental Clinic routinely places esthetic tooth-colored fillings in our patients’ “smiling” teeth and when desired in our patient’s back teeth. Because of the proven higher success rate and durability of amalgam fillings over composite, the Paulsons often advise amalgam fillings for interproximal (in-between-the-teeth cavities) in the primary molars. We also understand many parents’ concerns with metal fillings and will perform tooth-colored fillings when desired.
Resin Composite
If your child has a cavity that needs to be filled, we don’t have to shine a spotlight on their dental work. Instead, we will apply a tooth-colored filling that consists of a color-matched composite resin. This malleable substance easily fills the extra space and allows your child to keep more of their natural tooth structure. Also, it will blend it for a seamless appearance.
Veneers
The best-looking option to restoring damaged anterior teeth is the composite strip crown. The Paulsons routinely perform these veneer-like restorations on mildly to moderately decayed anterior teeth. The pre-veneered zirconia crown may be recommended over the composite crown in severely decayed teeth and children whose upper and lower incisors touch when they bite.
Crowns
CCDC now offers esthetic options for badly broken down anterior teeth. Often times when a front tooth becomes badly broken down from dental caries (often due to nighttime bottle feeding), tooth-colored composite crowns are no longer a viable long-term option. In these cases, we may recommend a full-coverage crown that has a white facing. These types of restorations are long lasting, protect the tooth from further bacterial harm, and look great!
Dental Bonding
While cosmetic dental treatments may seem like something that is only for adults, teens can benefit from dental bonding. This effective solution makes it possible to hide small flaws found on your teen’s teeth. Small cracks, fractures, chips, and even stains can be remedied using color-matched composite resin. Once applied to the surface of your tooth, our team will shape and sculpt it into place to effectively cover the imperfection and create a new and improved smile. With proper care, you can expect to enjoy your new teeth for up to a decade!
Restorative Dentistry

Pulpotomy
Stainless steel crowns (i.e. Iron Man teeth or Princess crowns) have never been the best-looking dental restorations, but they are certainly the most durable and useful in pediatric dentistry. Stainless steel crowns are required when a tooth has undergone extensive loss of tooth structure from tooth decay, and/or after a tooth has received a pulpotomy (i.e. baby tooth root canal). Stainless steel crowns are inferior to none as far as durability and longevity in the primary teeth. They are commonly used in high caries risk patients to prevent further tooth decay on a susceptible tooth. Also, small fillings in certain posterior teeth (esp. lower 1
Root Canal Treatment
There isn’t a set price for treating children’s dental emergencies. Every situation will be unique, and some will cost more or less to treat than others. For instance, treating a minorly cracked tooth with some dental bonding will typically cost less than having an infected tooth repaired with a root canal. Once we’ve evaluated your child’s condition, we’ll review our findings with you and fully explain which treatments we recommend and their associated costs.

Dentures
In the unfortunate event, your child needs to have some front teeth removed, CCDC does provide the option for tooth replacement using a pedo-partial denture. The teeth look very natural and are cemented onto your child’s back molar teeth.

Dental Implants
How we treat knocked-out teeth: The tooth may still be viable if you get to our office soon enough. However, if the tooth cannot be saved, we may discuss tooth replacement options with you and your child instead. While teenagers can get dental implants to replace lost teeth, there are strict age requirements. For example, female teenagers should be at least 15 years of age, while male teenagers need to be at least 17.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Thumb-sucking and pacifiers are common for infants to use for soothing purposes; however, once a child reaches toddler-age, these non-nutritive habits can lead to future oral health problems. The sucking motions and pressure applied to the front teeth can cause changes to their jaw and facial development, resulting in the need for orthodontic treatment or even oral surgery later on. A dentist for toddlers in Casper will provide helpful tips to break these bad habits and ensure better oral health.
Tooth Extractions
If your child complains of serious pain or sensitivity in a particular tooth, we will need to look for signs of damage or decay to the innermost layer, the pulp. Full of nerves and tissues, the pulp can cause much discomfort if physical trauma or an infection occurs. The only way to treat this problem is to provide pulp therapy. By removing the infected pulp, your child will feel greater relief and avoid the potential for a tooth extraction.

Orthodontics
Your child’s smile can make a big difference when it comes to how they look and feel. Having healthy teeth and gums can make it easier to socialize with their peers, perform well academically, and feel more confident when speaking in front of others. At Casper Children’s Dental Clinic, Drs. Roy and Ryne Paulson are board-certified pediatric dentists who want to help your child maintain optimal oral health as they transition from childhood to adolescence and eventually, adulthood. Whether it is a routine dental checkup and cleaning your child needs, tooth-colored fillings, pulp therapy, or even orthodontics, you can count on us to provide a compassionate, high-quality, and personalized approach when it comes to your child’s smile. Contact us to schedule an appointment with a children’s dentist in Casper today.
Braces
Are you ready to invest in your child’s future with a straight smile using braces in Casper? That is great! Correcting their bite and alignment concerns not only gives them a confident smile but also improves their oral health. While you are excited to get started, we understand you and your child have plenty of questions, including "How do braces work in my Casper, WY dnetal office?" We have the answers you need for a stress-free treatment.

Teeth Whitening
Another cosmetic treatment that teens can benefit from is teeth whitening! Unlike over-the-counter products that contain less powerful ingredients and require you to buy more to achieve noticeable results, professional teeth whitening produces longer-lasting, brighter smiles. By blasting away stains with professional-grade products, your teeth will be able to smile confidently when surrounded by their peers.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Did you know that children aged 7 to 14 are the most common to injure their front teeth? As pediatric dentists, the Paulsons are specialists in the esthetic correction of fractured anterior (front) teeth. Our goal is to restore the natural appearance of the smile as well as stop/mitigate any damage or decay that has occurred. Whether your child is dealing with a small dental problem or a big one, the Paulsons will ensure they’ll be able to smile confidently in no time with pediatric cosmetic dentistry in Casper, WY.
