What does pediatric dentistry include?
Pediatric dentistry often uses sealants to prevent cavities on a child’s back molars. A thin acrylic coating is applied and hardened to block bacteria and plaque. Fluoride treatments also help by strengthening enamel, preventing decay, and even reversing early damage.

What are the common issues of dental health in children?
Children often face the same dental issues as adults, but because their teeth are still developing, untreated problems can affect alignment and lead to serious issues later.
Common concerns include:
- Tooth decay
- Bad breath
- Sensitive teeth
- Thumb-sucking
- Gum disease
- Teeth grinding
- Canker sores
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Dental anxiety

What is a space maintainer?
Dental space maintainers keep space open for permanent teeth after premature baby tooth loss. Baby teeth help guide adult teeth, and early loss can lead to misalignment. While the body often preserves space, each case varies. If your child loses a tooth early, contact us for a consultation.
