Preventive Care

• Dental Cleanings – Gentle cleanings, polishing, and scaling as needed, along with fun, age-appropriate dental hygiene education.

• Sealants – A protective coating placed on the grooves of back teeth (molars and premolars) to help prevent cavities.

Restorative Treatments

• Composite Restorations – Tooth-colored (white) fillings that blend in naturally while restoring strength after a cavity.

• Amalgam Restorations – Silver-colored fillings used to repair and protect teeth after decay is removed.

• Stainless Steel Crowns – Strong, silver crowns used to cover and protect teeth with large cavities or higher risk of decay.

Nerve & Tooth Care

• Pulpotomies – Sometimes called a “baby root canal”, this treatment helps save a baby tooth when decay has reached the nerve.

• Extractions – Gentle removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or needs to be taken out for orthodontic reasons.

Growth & Development Support

• Space Maintainers – Small appliances that hold space open if a baby tooth is lost early, preventing shifting and crowding.

Comfort Options

• Nitrous Oxide – A safe, effective, and quick-acting gas (“laughing gas”) that helps children relax during treatment.
