Dental Care You Can Trust
Little teeth, big smile
At Associated Pediatric Dentistry (APD), children are our specialty. As pediatric dentists, our doctors have spent extra years in specialized dentistry training to be able to provide quality care to our young patients.
We offer a variety of services to ensure that your child receives the best dental care available in a fun and safe environment. We know that going to the dentist can cause anxiety for both children and their parents, which is why our entire staff is trained to help everyone feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. You may even hear us using unique words like “sleepy juice” for anesthesia, “happy air” for nitrous oxide or “wiggles” for extractions.Preventive Care
Preventive care is the cornerstone of good oral health – and keeping teeth healthy is one of the best things you can do for overall health. We use routine dental cleanings as an opportunity to educate our young patients on proper hygiene techniques.
Routine Cleaning
Most kids should be seen for a dental cleaning and routine exam every six months or as recommended by your child’s dentist. During the cleaning, plaque and calculus (calcified plaque) will be removed from the teeth leaving behind a bright and polished smile.
Digital X-rays
X-rays (radiographs) are one of the most valuable tools a dentist has for diagnosing problems in the teeth and jaws. X-rays are used in children to monitor tooth growth and development as well as decay.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment for children’s teeth is a great tool used to help prevent tooth decay by as much as 70 percent. It’s naturally occurring in different amounts in almost all food and water supplies.
