Dental Checkups & Cleanings for Kids

When treating young patients, Dr. Vazquez and Dr. Aldana know how to create comfortable and enjoyable experiences. With a calming demeanor, they will thoroughly examine your child’s teeth and gums as well as their bite and jaw development. We’ll remove any accumulated plaque and tartar from their teeth and gumline as well as provide fun and exciting ways to practice good oral hygiene at home.

Dental Sealants

It takes time for a child to develop good brushing habits, so until they feel more confident, we want to give their teeth the protection they need, especially those located toward the back of the mouth – the molars and premolars. With dental sealants, we can apply a clear coating to the chewing surfaces so that the pits and grooves remain protected from invasive bacteria and decay. This will create an effective barrier against cavities for up to 10 years.

Fluoride Treatments

Healthy tooth development is essential for all patients; however, it’s even more important for young smiles that are constantly changing. With the help of additional fluoride treatment, our dentists can provide another layer of protection so that cavities are less likely to form. Although children may be exposed to fluoride through their tap water and toothpaste, those who are prone to decay can benefit from this quick and painless application.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

It’s an unfortunate reality that cavities can still form, even when good oral hygiene is practiced at home. When this happens, Dr. Vazquez or Dr. Aldana will recommend a tooth-colored filling to offer maximum protection. Using composite resin that is shaded to blend in with your child’s smile, the flexible solution will replace the decayed portion of the tooth before a curing light seals it in place. This will prevent possible reinfection and allow for improved function your child can enjoy.

Athletic Mouthguards

Children who engage in contact sports will benefit from wearing a customized athletic mouthguard. Our dentists at Soleil Dental can take digital impressions to produce a comfortable, snug-fitting appliance that absorbs the pressure from a hard hit or fall so that an unexpected dental emergency does not occur. By choosing a custom mouthguard over the one-size-fits-all variety at your local sporting goods store, you and your child can feel more at ease during each game.

Pulp Therapy

Toothaches that stem from an infection deep within the inner layers require immediate treatment. In these cases, Dr. Vazquez or Dr. Aldana will recommend pulp therapy. By clearing out the pulp chamber and nearby canals, they will not only remove the source of the pain – the infection – but also save your child’s tooth from possible extraction while delivering maximum protection with the help of a custom-made dental crown.
