We love providing dental care for patients of all ages in our family-friendly dental practise. The whole team wants your child to have a fun, positive, fear-free experience that gives them a lifetime of confidence and trust in the dentist. We want kids to look forward to going to the dentist!
During your child’s appointment, we’ll clean away bacteria, plaque, and tartar and polish your child’s teeth. We will do an exam and make sure your child is cavity-free and their teeth are erupting on schedule.
What are sealants and how do they protect teeth?
Many back teeth have deep grooves that bacteria and sugar get stuck in. These grooves are so narrow that even a toothbrush can’t properly clean them. This leads to staining , cavities, and expensive dental work.
Sealants cover these deep grooves in both baby and adult teeth. We recommend them because they help prevent cavities and can save teeth from invasive and expensive dental work. Sealants are tooth-colored and not easily noticeable. They may last several years but need to be replaced every once in a while.
How often should my child see the dentist?
Your child should see Dr. Raphaelle for an exam and cleaning every year. Regular visits help keep your child’s mouth and smile healthy, and they allow us to make sure their teeth are developing properly.
