Pediatric Dentist
Our dental care is based on a foundation of prevention. It is definitely far easier to avoid cavities, gum disease, tooth alignment problems, and more than it is to treat them once they progress. At Wee Care Children’s Dentistry, we create and maintain a positive, welcoming, and fun environment for your child free of anxiety and worry.
It is vital to lay the groundwork early. That way, your child sees our office as a place of comfort, not one to fear. This sets the stage for a lifetime of good experiences with dentistry. It’s not only a good idea but recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, that your child gets their first oral hygiene appointment when they turn one year old.
Our pediatric dentist works closely with you. We provide the absolute best possible treatment, guidance, and recommendations to ensure your child’s teeth remain strong and healthy. Our dental care offers you tips for cavity prevention, including discussing the vital role nutrition plays. If we detect a cavity, we apply a filling to address it as soon as possible.
Fluoride treatments effectively keeping tooth decay from forming cavities in your child’s teeth. We believe that every possible tool that can be utilized should be considered. What is of greatest importance is that their primary teeth remain in good condition so that they fall out on their normal schedule, allowing room for the permanent teeth to erupt.
Orthodontic treatment is also a big part of our dental care. Instead of waiting until adolescence, they can benefit from interceptive orthodontics, as early as age 7. Not only can this save money on more complex treatment later.
Typically, it is easier on your child, including the possibility of avoiding traditional braces in their teen years. Most problems, dental, periodontal, or orthodontic, typically become more severe if not addressed early by our pediatric dentist.
