Our Pediatric Dental Services
We offer comprehensive dental services for kids, from routine dental exams and cleanings to pediatric dentistry services. Our goal is to make sure your child feels safe and comfortable in our office so that they can get the care they need to avoid future dental problems that could affect their oral and overall health. Dr. Bain has decades of experience in pediatric dental services and is a six-time “Super Dentist” award winner. He and his team are committed to going above and beyond for patients and their families.
Dental Exams & Dental Cleaning Services for Kids
Your child should start seeing a pediatric dentist as soon as their first tooth comes in or at their first birthday. They should then visit their dentist for a teeth cleaning and checkup every six months. Dr. Bain and his team will ensure your child feels safe and comfortable during each dental exam and cleaning. We use child-friendly dental terms and kid-size dental tools. During each checkup, we will provide your child with dental instruction and education they can use their entire life. Our dental exams and cleanings include:
- Thorough professional dental cleaning
- Check for signs of tooth decay, gum inflammation, and other symptoms of oral health issues
- Dental x-rays
- Preventive treatment, like fluoride treatment or dental sealants
- Education on maintaining good oral health and a regular oral health routine
Dental Sealants for Kids
A dental sealant is a protective coating that we apply to the chewing surfaces of your child's teeth. This coating is safe and cannot be detected in your child's mouth. It will not prevent your child from eating, speaking, or maintaining a normal oral hygiene routine. Dental sealants prevent cavities and reduce your child's risk of tooth decay. We recommend sealants for children with a history of dental cavities or a high risk of cavities. They offer 2-5 years of protection, and the process of applying dental sealants is fast and easy.
Mouthguards for Kids
We offer custom mouthguards for kids who play sports. Mouthguards protect the teeth and soft tissues in the mouth, so if your child gets hit or falls while playing sports, they are less likely to lose a tooth or suffer from a soft tissue injury. We recommend mouthguards for children between the ages of six and 19 who play contact sports like soccer, basketball, football, flag football, softball, baseball, t-ball, tennis, and volleyball.
Custom mouthguards can also be used to treat sleep-related dental issues like bruxism, or the grinding of the teeth or clenching of the jaw during sleep. Bruxism can cause dental erosion, tooth damage, lost sleep, headaches, and jaw pain.
Dental Sedation for Kids
Dental sedation includes varying levels of anesthesia that help children relax during dental procedures. If your child has extreme dental fear or anxiety, claustrophobia, trouble sitting still, or a hyperactivity disorder, we may recommend dental sedation. We use safe, carefully calibrated levels of sedation to ensure your child stays still throughout the procedure and feels calm, comfortable, and secure. We may also use a local anesthetic like Novocaine for some procedures to prevent pain and discomfort. Please contact us prior to your child’s appointment to discuss your needs and our options for pediatric sedation dentistry.
Dental Care for Special Needs Patients
Dr. Bain and his staff are specialists in providing safe, compassionate dental care for special needs patients. We provide extra care and attention to patients who need it or who have medical, physical, or cognitive conditions that affect their comfort or mobility. We provide assistance during each appointment and can help you communicate oral hygiene instructions to your child to help them manage their oral health at home.
