Services We Offer for Children

Routine Checkups and Cleanings

Regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. We provide thorough exams, cleanings, and fluoride treatments to prevent cavities and monitor the development of their teeth and gums. Our team will make sure your child feels comfortable while learning about the importance of brushing, flossing, and good dental habits.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a great preventive measure against cavities, especially for the back teeth where cavities are most likely to form. Sealants are a thin coating applied to the chewing surface of the teeth, which helps protect them from decay.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is an essential mineral that helps protect teeth from cavities. We offer fluoride treatments as part of your child’s routine visit to ensure their teeth are fortified against tooth decay.

Tooth Extractions

If your child has a problematic tooth, such as a severely decayed or crowded tooth, we may recommend a gentle tooth extraction. We ensure the process is quick and comfortable, and we take every measure to make sure your child feels at ease throughout the procedure.

Orthodontic Assessments

Early orthodontic evaluation can be beneficial in identifying any potential issues with your child’s bite or alignment. If needed, we will recommend further treatment, such as braces or other orthodontic options, to address these concerns early on.

The Children’s Dentistry Process: What to Expect

First Visit

We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears. During this visit, we’ll introduce your child to the dental office and our team, making them feel comfortable in a fun, friendly environment. Dr. Yoon will examine their teeth and discuss important dental hygiene practices with you and your child.

Routine Visits

As your child grows, routine visits every 6 months are important for monitoring their oral health. We’ll clean their teeth, check for cavities, and discuss any changes or concerns. We’ll also offer guidance on diet, home care, and developing good dental habits.

Building Healthy Habits

We believe that good habits begin early, and we work closely with parents and children to establish a routine for brushing and flossing, making oral care an easy and enjoyable part of their day.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I bring my child in for their first visit?

It’s best to schedule your child’s first dental visit when their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday. Early visits help establish a positive relationship with the dentist and provide guidance on proper oral care.

How often should my child visit the dentist?

Children should see the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. This helps prevent cavities, monitor tooth development, and establish good dental habits early.

What can I do to help my child overcome a fear of the dentist?

At Lansdowne Place Dental, we create a friendly, welcoming environment where your child can feel at ease. We take our time to explain everything to them in a way they’ll understand, and we never rush through appointments. Our goal is to make dental visits fun and stress-free!

Are dental sealants safe for my child?

Yes, dental sealants are a safe and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. The application process is quick and pain-free, and it provides long-lasting protection.

What if my child needs orthodontic treatment?

We provide early orthodontic assessments and can guide you on when the right time is to begin treatment. In some cases, early intervention may help guide the growth of your child’s teeth and jaws to prevent more complex issues later on.
