Proper Dental Hygiene Starts Early with Pediatric Dentistry

If you’re seeking exceptional dental care for your child, you’ve come to the right place! Our experienced team is dedicated to fostering healthy oral habits from an early age, ensuring your child’s smile remains bright and healthy into adulthood.

The Importance of Early Dental Care

Understanding the significance of baby teeth is crucial. These primary teeth are not just placeholders for adult teeth; they play a vital role in your child’s overall dental development. They help create space for the permanent teeth, guide proper alignment, and contribute to healthy jaw development. That’s why it’s essential to instill good oral hygiene habits early on.

Children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday. This early visit helps detect signs of tooth decay and provides parents with valuable guidance on maintaining their child’s oral health. At Mequon Smile Design, we emphasize the importance of these early visits to set a strong foundation for lifelong dental health.

Our Approach to Pediatric Dentistry

At Mequon Smile Design, our highly trained dental team is committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care for children of all ages. We understand that each child is unique and we tailor our approach to meet their needs. We make every visit enjoyable and stress-free, helping your child build a positive relationship with the dentist. 

Pediatric Dental Treatments

We offer a range of pediatric dental treatments to keep your child’s smile healthy:

• Topical Fluoride: This treatment strengthens tooth enamel, which helps prevent tooth decay. 
• Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, preventing cavities and plaque buildup.
• Root Canal Treatment: For severe tooth decay or injury, we provide root canal therapy to save the affected tooth.
• Bonding: A cosmetic procedure that repairs chipped or damaged teeth, restoring their appearance and function.

Orthodontic Concerns

Many children are ready for their first orthodontic exam by age seven. Early evaluation allows us to project jaw growth, monitor tooth positioning, and potentially prevent the need for more extensive orthodontic treatments later on. Detecting orthodontic issues early can make a significant difference in your child’s dental development.

Custom Mouth Guards for Active Children

If your child participates in sports, it’s crucial to protect their smile from potential injuries. Mequon Smile Design offers custom-made mouthguards tailored to your child’s teeth. Unlike off-the-shelf models, custom mouthguards provide superior protection and comfort, ensuring your child’s teeth and jaws are well-protected during physical activities.
