Dental Examination
During your childâ€™s first visit, we will perform a comprehensive exam, checking teeth for cavities and examining all structures in the mouth. We will then use a special toothbrush to clean your childâ€™s teeth. Your child (or mom and/or dad) will be able to choose from a variety of toothpaste flavors! Fluoride varnish that helps prevent cavities from forming will also be applied to your childâ€™s teeth. If needed, x-rays will be taken.
X-rays
Our doctors wants to provide the best possible oral health care for your child.Â Visual examinations do not always tell us everything we need to know. Dental X-Rays (radiographs) are images of your teeth that dentists use to evaluate your oral health. They can help accurately diagnose dental issues before they become more serious. Dental X-Rays also give the ability to see between and inside your teeth and below your childâ€™s gumline that are not visible to the naked eye. By reviewing comprehensive x-rays, your childâ€™s dentist is able to diagnose any specific or isolated dental problems your child may be experiencing and prevent dental issues from progressing. Our doctors only takes X-rays when they are needed.

Fluoride Treatment
The AAPD recommends dental check-ups twice a year, more if your child is at increased risk for tooth decay, has unusual growth patterns, or poor oral hygiene. It is important to have regular dental exams to help protect your childâ€™s teeth and oral health. Routine check-ups provide our office with an opportunity to detect problems early, when they are most treatable, and provide tips for caring for your childâ€™s teeth. It has been shown that early dental visits decrease dental costs in the future. During the dental appointment, your childâ€™s teeth will be cleaned and evaluated for tooth decay. A fluoride treatment will be applied to reduce the risk of decay. If needed, your child will have a dental x-ray or other diagnostic procedures.Â Â
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to grooves and pitted surfaces in the back teeth (molars and premolars), where 80% of cavities in children are found. Even when your child is a diligent brusher and flosser, these areas are difficult to clean on certain teeth. When bacteria builds up in these areas, they become more prone to tooth decay. Dental sealants act as a barrier to food, plaque and acid, which protect the areas of the teeth that are most prone to decay. Sealants can last for many years when properly cared for. Our team will discuss if sealants are recommended for your child and check them during routine visits to determine if re-application or repair are necessary.
Space Maintainers
Primary or baby teeth are very important, as they act as a space holder for Secondary or Adult teeth. If a baby tooth needs to be extracted earlier than it is supposed to fall out on its own, there may be future issues with lost space. This is why it is important to have an experienced pediatric dentist evaluate your child for Space Maintainers. Depending on the location of the lost tooth and a variety of other factors, our dentists can recommend treatment plans that are right for your child.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Dentists have been repairing decayed teeth for generations. Although the ADA confirms that both silver-colored (amalgam) and white fillings (composite resins) are safe and affordable, more patients opt for the latter to improve their smile.Â At Little Smiles of Port Washington â€“ A Dental365 Company, white fillings are used.
Crowns
If your childâ€™s tooth has been severely decayed, damaged or cracked, a crown may be necessary. The decay will be removed from the affected tooth and your childâ€™s tooth will be fitted for the appropriate sized and shaped crown. Depending on the location of the crown, the dentist will discuss whether or not your child should opt for a stainless steel or tooth-colored, porcelain crown. Crowns for baby molars are typically made of stainless steel, as they are the most durable option and protects your childâ€™s tooth until it is ready to fall out.Â
Dental Bonding
If your child is faced with chipped, cracked, misshapen, stained or large gaps between teeth, our doctors may recommend a cosmetic dental bonding procedure. Dental bonding is a special bonded, esthetic filling that helps restore and reshape your childâ€™s tooth to improve both the appearance and function of your childâ€™s smile. Dental bonding material made of a composite resin that is bonded to an existing tooth and the procedure is quick, making it a quick and ideal way to enhance a childâ€™s smile.

Root Canal Treatment
In some cases, a child may have a cavity that involves the nerves within their tooth.Â We are experienced in Indirect Pulp Therapy (root canal prevention) and Pulpotomies (ie. baby root canal) that will help restore your childâ€™s tooth until the permanent tooth comes in.

Periodontal Surgery

Orthodontics
According to the American Dental Association, athletes who do not wear mouth guards are 60 times more likely to damage their teeth. Yet, in a survey commissioned by the American Academy of Orthodontics, 67% of parents admitted that their children do not wear a mouthguard during organized sports. Should your child ever have a sports-related injury to the mouth, a properly fitted mouthguard can prevent many accidents and trauma. Little Smiles of Port Washington â€“ A Dental365 Company is happy to discuss the benefits and fabricate a custom-fitted mouthguard for your child.
