Pediatric Dental Services Offered By Our Clinic
Our children’s dentists in Mississauga provide a full range of dental services to promote good oral health in children, including:
- A Full Oral Health Exam: Every child’s oral health needs are different. We perform a complete oral health exam on each of our young patients to determine their needs and how we can best address them.
- Fluoride Treatments: Professional fluoride treatments can safely strengthen your child’s teeth and help to protect them against future decay. We apply these treatments in-office regularly to keep your child’s teeth healthy.
- Habit Counselling: Establishing good brushing and flossing habits when children are young is the best way to set them up for a lifetime of good oral health.
- Cavity Treatment: Cavities are common problems among children. We identify and painlessly treat any cavities present in your child’s teeth.
- Oral Injury Treatment: Children are prone to falls, stumbles, and roughhousing, all of which may damage one or more of their teeth and mouth. We diagnose issues and treat your child’s mouth and teeth, including teeth that have not yet erupted from the gums.
- Correction of Crooked or Misaligned Teeth: Crooked teeth make it difficult to brush properly, may create plaque traps in the areas where they meet at odd angles, and may cause your child to become self-conscious about their smile. We evaluate the alignment of your child’s teeth and treat any problems we find once they are old enough using Invisalign technology.
Preventive Dental Treatments for Children
Toothpaste and Toothbrush
Brushing twice a day for at least two minutes each time is the best way for kids to protect their mouths from cavities and gum disease. We teach your children what effective brushing looks like and how to tell if they’ve done it correctly, setting an example for them to follow for the rest of their lives.
Fluoride Application
Children’s developing teeth benefit greatly from additional fluoride exposure in a controlled setting. Our staff applies a clinically tested concentrated fluoride gel to your child’s teeth using a tray or small brush, then instructs your child to wait with the fluoride on their teeth for several minutes. After rinsing, your child will benefit from enhanced cavity protection for several months.
Sealants
Sealants resemble dental fillings made of plastic that shield the vulnerable grooves of your child’s molars from potential decay. Dental professionals apply sealants in liquid form before curing them with a special light. They are completely safe for children, and absolutely no harm is done to the structure of your child’s teeth.
