Children Are Special
A little extra time and attention makes a child's visit to the dentist pleasant and interesting. Our preventive philosophy, including careful examinations, x-rays as necessary, use of pit and fissure sealants, regular cleanings and fluoride and age appropriate instruction will guide your child toward developing healthy life long habits.
Children’s 2 Phase Orthodontics
The latest research in dentistry reveals the need to monitor the growth and development of your child's oro-facial complex (that is to say, the system that provides for the function of chewing, swallowing, breathing, speech, taste, smell and vision). In very young children, the tongue, lips and cheeks help to guide the teeth into position. Bottles, pacifiers and thumb sucking can interrupt this natural process resulting in cross bites, earaches, mouth breathing, restless sleep and difficulty swallowing. The use of functional appliances can correct these problems by creating ample space for teeth and airway. In older children, the use of traditional brackets furthers the ideal positioning of their teeth for effective speech and function.
