Introduction to Pediatric Dentistry

Our care is adapted to meet the specific needs and preferences of each child. From the first visit, we focus on creating a positive experience. Your child can sit on your lap or in our child-sized exam chair while we clean. We use gentle techniques and flavors like bubble gum to ensure a pleasant experience, making you feel at ease about your child’s dental care. Our approach includes using a children’s toothbrush with strong tooth polish to clean their teeth effectively.

Dental Cleanings and Health Check-ups

Scheduled examinations and cleanings are vital for your child’s oral health. During a typical visit, we remove plaque and tartar buildup, check for cavities, and monitor the alignment and development of your child’s teeth. We also offer fluoride treatments to provide an extra layer of protection. Our Morgan Hill dental office is equipped with modern breakthroughs, including [digital X-rays and intraoral cameras], to ensure your child receives the best care possible.

Dental X-rays for Kids

Dental X-rays are sometimes necessary to get a complete view of your child’s teeth and diagnose any hidden issues. We monitor the alignment of your child’s teeth as they grow to determine if orthodontic treatment might be needed. If we find any cavities or other issues, we will schedule another appointment to address these problems promptly.
