Infant Oral Health Exams
Many parents are not aware that it’s beneficial for their baby to be seen by our children’s dentist once a tooth arrives or they turn 1.Visits of this type mainly serve to help you better understand important developmental milestones for your little one and to start them out with the best care. During the infant oral exam, we’ll also review how you currently manage your child’s dental hygiene and offer tips.
Sealants
Is your child prone to getting cavities? If so, you may want to ask our dentist about getting sealants. Dental sealants are thin protective coatings we can quickly and painlessly paint on to the chewing surface of your child’s back teeth. Sealants work by covering the deep grooves and divots in your child’s back teeth where plaque likes to hide.
Laughing Gas
Laughing gas is a form of mild dental sedation that can help your child relax in the dentist’s chair so they get the care they need. We understand that some patients may feel nervous or even afraid about going to the dentist. This is why we do everything we can to make every child feel safe and comfortable.
Emergency Treatment
Accidents happen, which is why our emergency children’s dentist is available after hours. The sooner you call our office, the sooner your child can receive the they need. Knocked-out teeth, severe tooth pain, and more – we’re here to help!
Preventive Care
Tooth decay is the #1 chronic disease affecting American children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The good news is that our Hudsonville family dental office provides preventive care so your child can avoid cavities. Our dentist offers services like dental sealant application, oral exams, and professional teeth cleanings.
Routine Restorative Care
The goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the function and appearance of your child’s tooth. During your child’s appointment, our family dentist will thoroughly examine the inside of your child’s mouth and take X-rays to catch any issues in their early stages.
Space Maintainers
Your child’s baby teeth act as placeholders for their permanent adult teeth. This is why our family dentist may recommend a space maintainer if your child prematurely loses a baby tooth before the adult tooth is ready to erupt. A space maintainer holds the empty space in your child’s jaw, reserving it for the adult tooth.
Dental Office Safety
Our family dental office maintains the highest standards of safety to provide patient-centered care. Safety is of utmost importance for patients of all ages, but especially so for babies, toddlers, school-age children, teenagers, and those with special needs.
