\n\t\tChildren’s Dentistry\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tWe nurture kids’ smiles right from the start.\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Children’s dentistry sets the foundation for optimal oral health into adolescence and adulthood. Early dental visits, beginning by the first birthday or when the first tooth emerges, establish a positive association with dental care. Regular six-month checkups and cleanings ensure proper dental care as your kids grow.<\/p>\n

At Antlers Family Dentist, we adore working with kids and have created a friendly, comforting environment with the goal of becoming their forever dental home. Our skilled team knows how to make dental visits enjoyable, and we have a fun, interactive play area that captivates kids before their appointments. By fostering a positive relationship with dentistry from an early age, we can help your child develop lifelong oral care habits for a healthy, happy smile.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tPreventive Care\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tRoutine appointments are key in cavity prevention.\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining your child’s optimal oral health. Professional dental cleanings every six months remove plaque, tartar, and stains to help prevent dental issues like cavities and gum disease. Our team at Antlers Family Dentist provides guidance on effective at-home hygiene techniques to enhance your child’s oral health between visits. Since they serve as placeholders for permanent teeth, baby teeth are crucial to keep healthy to ensure proper jaw development and tooth alignment. With proactive care, children can enjoy healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\t\t\t

Dental Sealants<\/h2>

Superheroes protecting your child’s molars from cavities.<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Dental sealants play a vital role in cavity prevention, especially for kids. Applying sealants soon after permanent molars emerge (around age 6 for first molars and age 12 for second molars) provides optimal protection. Sealants form a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces, shielding vulnerable grooves and pits from decay-causing bacteria. While most beneficial for children, adults can also benefit from sealants to safeguard their molars.<\/p>\n\t\t\t

Tooth-Colored Fillings<\/h2>

Fillings That Match Your Child’s Adjacent Natural Teeth <\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Tooth-colored fillings hold significant importance for kids as they effectively treat cavities while blending seamlessly with their natural teeth. These fillings, made of composite resin material, restore decayed or damaged teeth while preserving their aesthetics and function. They are the ideal treatment for small cavities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t

Dental Bonding<\/h2>

Kids can benefit from dental bonding, too<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Composite dental bonding is a versatile, conservative cosmetic dental solution that is perfect for enhancing kids’ smiles. This noninvasive process involves applying tooth-colored resin to correct imperfections in shape, size, or color. Dental bonding ensures natural-looking, seamless results, boosting your child’s confidence with a beautiful smile they’ll love to share.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tTongue-Tie and Lip-Tie Release\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tLet Antlers Family Dentist help correct your child’s tongue-tie or lip-tie.\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

At Antlers Family Dentist, we release tongue-ties and lip-ties using the LightScalpel dental laser. We frequently collaborate with speech pathologists, pediatricians, and lactation consultants for the most beneficial outcomes. If your newborn or infant is experiencing difficulty with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, reflux, or difficulty in lifting their tone or speech development challenges, then a tongue-tie evaluation is recommended. Our skilled team can assess and address the tongue-tie or lip-tie to improve feeding, speech, and overall oral health for your little one.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tStainless Steel Dental Crowns & Tooth-Colored Crowns\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tLong-term protection for your child’s teeth\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Stainless steel dental crowns and tooth-colored crowns are essential for safeguarding kids’ oral health. Stainless steel crowns offer durability and protection for primary teeth, preventing decay and damage, restoring a tooth to proper shape, form, and function. Crowns are a solution for children with teeth suffering from decay or malformed enamel. Tooth-colored crowns enhance aesthetics, addressing visible cavities or chipped teeth. At Antlers Family Dentist, we go beyond with NuSmile Zirconia Crowns, providing the perfect blend of durability and beauty. This innovative option ensures long-lasting protection, optimal function, and a natural-looking smile for kids.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSports Mouth Guards\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tKeeping teeth safe on the field\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Sports mouth guards safeguard kids’ smiles during physical activities. Mouth guards have been shown to reduce the occurrence of concussions during sports, while riding ATVs, and in rodeo arenas. A mouth guard isn’t only a great solution for protecting your child’s teeth and mouth, but also their overall health. Approximately 40% sports-related injuries involve dental trauma, making mouth guards well worth the investment. At Antlers Family Dentist, we create custom-fitted mouth guards using digital scans to ensure precise, comfortable protection. With various thickness options available, our mouth guards work to protect those precious pearly whites while your child enjoys their favorite activities worry-free.<\/p>\n
