Preventive & General Treatments in Burton

Preventive dentistry is the foundation for a healthy smile. With regular cleanings and exams, small dental issues can be caught before they turn into large and costly problems. Preventive dental care along with a diligent at-home brushing and flossing routine can help prevent dental issues all together. Preventive care is particularly important for children because once good oral health habits are established, they’re more likely to continue those habits throughout adulthood and have healthier smiles as a result.

Pulpotomy

When your child is suffering from tooth pain, it can be a distressing time for both of you. If left untreated, the infection in the pulp can spread, leading to more serious dental issues, including tooth loss. A pulpotomy can effectively alleviate the pain and stop the infection from spreading. It is a quick and relatively painless procedure, often completed in just one visit to Sunflower Pediatric Dentistry. Getting a pulpotomy can save your child's tooth, prevent further damage, and restore their beautiful smile.

By getting regular screenings, you can ensure that any potential issues are caught early, allowing for prompt treatment and a higher chance of successful recovery. It's a small step that can have a significant impact on your child's health.

Space Maintenance

Your kid’s primary teeth have a significant role to play. They help your little one speak correctly or bite, chew, and guide the adult teeth below them to erupt into an appropriate position. A significant function of the baby teeth is to hold space for the permanent teeth that will push them out eventually.

However, several circumstances can cause your child to lose one or a few of their baby teeth prematurely. When this occurs, the permanent teeth about to come in can be blocked completely. This may result in crooked or crowded teeth.

If your child’s tooth has come out prematurely due to an infection, decay, or accident, the Burton pediatric dentist at Sunflower Pediatric Dentistry can offer a solution. We will provide a painless space maintenance service to facilitate your child’s permanent teeth development. Call us today at (440) 273-8104.

Pediatric Dentistry

While caring for children’s teeth is not drastically different than dentistry for adults, there are some differences in the approach dentists take. Dentists who care for pediatric patients will cater their services and methods to little ones in an effort to create a positive relationship with oral health. By focusing on education and prevention in a fun, relaxing environment, pediatric dentists can help empower children to feel comfortable and confident at the dentist’s office.
