Children’s Dental Cleanings
Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommends that your child visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday. Regular cleanings are critical to your child’s development of healthy teeth and gums. We perform regular check-ups, cleanings and oral health evaluations in our Alpharetta children’s dental office.

Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride prevents tooth decay. It is a natural mineral that is found in food and water. Fluoride strengthens your tooth’s enamel, making it harder for bacteria to cause cavities. We offer fluoride treatments to promote good dental hygiene.
Tooth decay can begin early in life so children and teenagers may need fluoride treatments to keep their teeth healthy and promote future oral health.

Children’s Dental Sealants
A sealant is a very thin layer of strong plastic that bonds to the chewing part of the tooth in order to seal out the germs that cause cavities. These are used when there are tiny grooves in a child’s tooth that will be hard to clean with a toothbrush. The sealant reduces the chances of cavities developing.

Cosmetic White Children’s Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to treat teeth that are damaged due to tooth decay. Children could have tooth decay if they are experiencing symptoms such as sensitivity to cold and hot food and drinks, toothaches, or jaw pain. Dental fillings help eliminate sensitivity and pain in the tooth and prevent any further damage from taking place. An exam of your child’s teeth can determine whether their teeth needs repair from dental fillings.
We are pleased to offer Cosmetic or tooth-colored fillings. These types of fillings are the same color as the teeth that they are bonded to, thus making them virtually invisible in the child’s mouth.

Children’s Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to cover a tooth that might be likely to break or is too damaged and decayed to be fixed with a filling. A crown is an aesthetic covering or a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over another tooth or implant to provide it stability. Crowns are generally used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth. When a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth, a crown is a good option. Crowns are also used to restore the shape and size of chipped or damaged teeth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using dental cement.

Children’s IV Sedation Dentistry
Intravenous (IV) sedation is a deep sleep that insulates your child from the stress and discomfort associated with dental procedures. It is not the same as general anesthesia used in a hospital. IV sedation dentistry is recommended for the very young child who may have a hard time sitting still for a lengthy, complex treatment. IV Sedation dentistry is also beneficial for children with special needs who may face extra difficulty in tolerating dental treatment. Additionally, IV sedation dentistry can benefit children with a strong gag reflex who cannot endure having dental professionals’ hands in their mouths. We encourage parents who feel that their children may benefit from IV sedation dentistry to discuss this option with one of our dentists. If you opt for IV sedation as part of your child’s dental treatment, be sure to discuss any precautions that you should take in advance of the appointment, such as making sure that your child does not eat or drink anything after midnight in advance of the procedure.
We are pleased to offer IV Sedation Dentistry. This type of procedure is used to minimize pain and discomfort, guard patients’ safety, and control anxiety.
