Dental Hygiene/Periodontal Health
In addition to the meticulous cleaning, polishing, and examination of your childs teeth, we also take the time to help educate you as the parent and our patients develop proper oral hygiene habits at home. We will evaluate your hygiene techniques and make adjustments to your routine where needed. Our doctors and assistants will also make suggestions for preventative measures such as dental sealants, fluoride rinses and diet suggestions.
Oral Cancer Screenings
During a dental exam, the doctor will check your childs neck and oral tissues for lumps, red or white patches or recurring sore areas.
Screening for early changes in the oral tissue can help detect cancer at a stage when it can be more successfully treated.
