Fun and Friendly Kids Dentist Creating Happy Smiles With Gentle Care and Expertise
Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health in children. At Dr. Jerry Ashrafi, DMD, MA, PLLC, we recommend scheduling check-ups every six months to ensure that any potential issues are caught early and treated effectively. During a check-up, our experienced pediatric dentists will examine your child's teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of decay, cavities, or other dental problems.
Professional cleanings are another important aspect of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our skilled hygienists will remove plaque and tartar buildup, as well as provide tips on how to properly brush and floss at home. Regular cleanings can help prevent cavities and gum disease, keeping your child's smile bright and healthy.
If your child has a cavity, our dentists may recommend a filling to restore the tooth to its normal function and shape. We use tooth-colored fillings that blend in with the natural color of the teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetic solution to cavities.
In some cases, a tooth may need to be extracted due to severe decay or damage. Our skilled dentists can perform extractions in a gentle and efficient manner, ensuring minimal discomfort for your child. We will also provide guidance on how to care for the extraction site to promote healing.
Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent decay. Sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your child's teeth from cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas. We recommend sealants for children as soon as their permanent molars come in.
Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent tooth decay by making the enamel more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. Our fluoride treatments can help strengthen your child's teeth and protect against cavities. We offer fluoride varnish applications as part of our preventive dental care services.
Orthodontic treatment may be necessary to correct bite issues, straighten teeth, and improve overall oral health. Our experienced orthodontists can provide comprehensive orthodontic care, including traditional braces, Invisalign, and other orthodontic solutions tailored to your child's needs.
Dental x-rays are used to diagnose oral health problems that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth, impacted teeth, or jawbone damage. We use digital x-rays, which emit significantly less radiation than traditional film x-rays, ensuring the safety and well-being of your child.
Mouthguards are essential for protecting your child's teeth and mouth during sports activities. Our custom-fitted mouthguards provide superior comfort and protection, reducing the risk of dental injuries such as broken teeth, cuts to the lips, and jaw damage. Investing in a mouthguard can prevent costly and painful dental emergencies.
Accidents can happen at any time, which is why we offer emergency dental care for children in need of immediate treatment. Whether your child has a knocked-out tooth, severe tooth pain, or a dental injury, our team is here to provide prompt and compassionate care to alleviate discomfort and preserve oral health.
Preventive dental care is the cornerstone of maintaining a healthy smile. By scheduling regular check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments, you can prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Our team of pediatric dentists is dedicated to educating children and parents on the importance of preventive care.
