At Dr. Jerry Ashrafi's Pediatric Dentistry practice, we prioritize preventative care to help children maintain healthy smiles for a lifetime. Preventative care includes regular dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. By focusing on preventing dental issues before they start, we help children establish good oral hygiene habits from a young age.
Dental exams are essential for monitoring the health of your child's teeth and gums. During a dental exam, Dr. Ashrafi will check for cavities, evaluate the alignment of your child's teeth, and assess their overall oral health. Regular dental exams help catch small problems before they turn into major issues.
Professional cleanings are recommended every six months to remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be removed by regular brushing and flossing. Our skilled dental hygienists will clean your child's teeth thoroughly, leaving them feeling fresh and smooth.
X-rays are an important tool in pediatric dentistry to detect cavities, monitor tooth growth, and identify any potential issues below the surface. Our office uses the latest digital X-ray technology to minimize radiation exposure and provide detailed images for accurate diagnosis.
If your child has a cavity, Dr. Ashrafi may recommend a filling to restore the tooth's structure and prevent further decay. We offer tooth-colored fillings that blend in seamlessly with your child's natural teeth for a discreet and effective solution.
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the back teeth to protect them from decay. Sealants create a barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves of the teeth, reducing the risk of cavities.
Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Our fluoride treatments are quick and painless, providing an extra layer of protection for your child's teeth.
If a baby tooth is lost prematurely, a space maintainer may be recommended to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting and causing alignment issues. Space maintainers help ensure that permanent teeth come in properly aligned.
Dr. Ashrafi understands that dental emergencies can happen at any time. Whether your child experiences a toothache, knocked-out tooth, or other urgent dental issue, our office is equipped to provide prompt and compassionate emergency care.
If your child has a severely damaged or decayed tooth, a pediatric crown may be necessary to restore its strength and function. Crowns are custom-made to fit your child's mouth comfortably and protect the remaining tooth structure.
In addition to regular cleanings, we offer deep cleaning services to remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease. Our skilled dental hygienists will ensure that your child's smile is clean and healthy.
Crowns are used to cover and protect damaged teeth, restoring their shape and function. We offer durable and natural-looking crowns to help your child maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
If a tooth is severely damaged or infected, extraction may be necessary to prevent further complications. Dr. Ashrafi will ensure that your child is comfortable during the extraction procedure and provide instructions for aftercare.
Orthodontic treatment can help correct misaligned teeth and bite issues, improving both the function and appearance of your child's smile. Dr. Ashrafi offers a range of orthodontic options, including braces and clear aligners, to meet your child's needs.
Sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your child's teeth from cavities. Dr. Ashrafi can apply sealants to the back teeth to help prevent decay and keep your child's smile healthy.
X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool in pediatric dentistry. Our office uses digital X-rays to provide detailed images of your child's teeth and jaws, allowing Dr. Ashrafi to make accurate diagnoses and create personalized treatment plans.
Fluoride treatments are a quick and painless way to strengthen your child's tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Our fluoride treatments are safe and effective, providing an extra layer of protection for your child's teeth.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. In addition to fluoride treatments, Dr. Ashrafi may recommend fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash to help protect your child's teeth.
For children who experience dental anxiety or have difficulty sitting still during procedures, sedation may be an option to help them relax and feel more comfortable. Dr. Ashrafi offers safe and effective sedation options to ensure a positive dental experience.
