Our Dental Services
Speaking of dental care for children, we have a promised blog topic to get to! Keep reading if you are interested in learning about each of our pediatric dental services on offer at Anthem Pediatric Dentistry.
DENTAL CLEANINGS
Every parent wants to set their child up with a healthy, radiant smile as they grow into adulthood. A big part of seeing that desire come to fruition is establishing healthy oral health habits from an early age. While parents obviously play the primary role in this case, having a personal pediatric dentist you can count on is the other side of the coin.
Choosing Anthem Pediatric Dentistry not only means you’ll get your kiddo’s teeth professionally cleaned regularly, but we’ll take the time to teach them proper oral health habits, habits that you can reinforce at home. What’s more, we examine your child’s teeth to diagnose and prevent any significant dental issues and/or diseases.
During your child’s teeth cleaning and exam, our team will:
- Clean the teeth by removing any plaque or tartar, which can lead to periodontal disease and tooth decay.
- Floss and polish your teeth for a lasting, bright smile.
- Examine your teeth for any signs of damaging conditions or diseases.
X-RAYS
In order to get a clearer picture of our patients’ teeth, we also offer pediatric x-rays. This helps us identify and address any apparent issues; being proactive about this diagnosis often helps keep minor issues from becoming major problems down the road.
Simply put, x-rays are the best way we have to see every part of your tooth. From the surface to the very structure of the tooth, we can take a look at the parts of your child’s teeth that are hidden from the naked eye. When we x-ray, we search for the following:
- Decay in hard-to-see places, such as between the teeth
- Developmental abnormalities that need to be addressed
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts and abscesses
- Fractures in existing fillings
- Tumors
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss
GENERAL PEDIATRIC TREATMENT
Whether your child needs a crown, x-ray, or simply a general exam to discover the root cause of a toothache, we offer comprehensive pediatric treatments. Keep in mind that emergency dental care is available 24 hours a day for current patients. What’s more, our patient-centered approach to dental care gives you the confidence from knowing that we treat every patient with patience, care, and kindness. We treat your children the way you want them to be!
ORTHODONTICS
We are proud to have a dedicated pediatric orthodontist on staff, giving us the ability to offer a full suite of orthodontic services and products for children. This includes Invisalign for children and teens, dentofacial orthopedics, and more! We offer the following treatments and products:
- Traditional metal and ceramic braces
- Self-ligating braces
- Invisalign® for children
- Dentofacial orthopedics
We are now offering digital scanning with the Itero Element 2. Learn more about Itero here.
SEDATION
SEDATIONFinally, we offer sedation dentistry. This is because many children experience significant anxiety and even fear when going to the dentist. While we will always defer to the wishes of the parent, we provide this simple solution for children of certain ages, behaviors, and required treatments. We offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation in addition to general anesthesia.
Keep in mind we are experienced professionals and will always communicate openly with parents to make sure you can make the best decision for your child and their unique situation. Learn more about our sedation treatment options by clicking on the link above.
