• The most elementary yet essential service for reducing the risk of your child having cavities
• Plaque is the most common cause of tooth decay because of its acidity, and it may also lead to gum disease if not treated
• Allow us to treat your child's cavities early on before a bigger problem arises

• A simple quick treatment that's effective in preventing tooth decay and plaque build-up
• Your child must not eat, drink, or rinse for at least 30 minutes after the procedure for their teeth to absorb the fluoride
• Done every 3,6, and 12 months, depending on the dentist's recommendation or your child's oral health

• If your child sucks their thumb, uses a pacifier, or has any other bad oral habit, this is the right service for you
• Such oral habits have long-lasting harmful effects on your child's teeth growth, muscles, and jaws
• Some habits are gone by the age of 2, but others may require intervention before they cause permanent damage

• An early assessment gives you peace of mind and saves you the hassle of your child suffering, and you spending a lot on corrections in the near future
• Prevent small problems your child may have from growing into really annoying and dangerous ones
• This helps us maintain control of your child's mouth after the baby teeth are out and they begin to grow permanent ones
• We explain to you how the jaw and teeth shape may interfere with your child's oral health down the line, and inform you if they are in a good condition

• Evaluating your child's overall oral health
• Detecting problems if any, in order to treat them early on
• X-rays are done according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines
• Done annually, bi-annually, or every 6 months

• Placing a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of premolars and molars (back teeth) to prevent tooth decay
• The sealants form a protective tooth enamel shield
• These plastic coatings last years before needing to be replaced
• Sealant conditions are checked during the routine dental check-ups

If your child has lip ties or tongue ties, they must be treated immediately for the following reasons:

• A lip tie occurs when your baby's frenulum (the tissue behind their upper lip) is too thick or too stiff, making it difficult for them to move their lip freely
• A tongue tie occurs when your baby's lingual frenulum is too short, too tight, or positioned too close to the tip of their tongue, leading to difficulties with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and even speech development
• These can also cause issues with your child’s gums or slow permanent tooth eruption down the road

• Recommended by The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) for Pediatric Dentists, to further help children maintain their oral health
• Each child's needs must be evaluated by the Diet Oral Health Assessment, to customize daily meals preferences

• The pulpotomy procedure is performed when the nerve of your child's tooth is infected by decay or exposure
• If left untreated, this may affect the bones around the developing tooth, or result in facial swelling and the loss of their tooth
• The treatment involves removing the infected portion, in addition to cleaning, medicating, and sealing the area
• This is an excellent way of saving a baby tooth followed by crowning to prevent future fractures

• The treatment depends on the nature of the trauma done to your child's tooth
• Injuries to the mouth and teeth should be examined by a dentist, especially if a tooth or teeth have become loose or damaged
• When a tooth is visibly damaged, the neighboring teeth may also have injuries that may not be visible unless detected by a dental exam

• I go above and beyond to provide children of determination with the best quality care, with safety and comfort in mind
• I am specially trained to manage the needs of children of determination, who require a careful approach during dental treatment

• Nitrous Oxide Sedation (a.k.a. “laughing gas”) is a mild form of sedation to help your child relax
• It is inhaled and administered through a fruit-scented device that sits gently on top of the child’s nose
• Gas is continuously inhaled for the duration of treatment to help calm your child's nerves
• Once done, your child is placed on pure oxygen to rid of any Nitrous Oxide in the system

• Baby teeth are important for chewing, however, they also serve to hold a space for the permanent tooth developing underneath
• Back baby molar extractions require space maintainers (stainless steel retainers glued on neighboring teeth to hold the space for the permanent tooth)
• Depending on the number of teeth missing, we will discuss the type of spacer necessary

• Using The STA “The magic wand” is much more comfortable and painless for your child
• Anesthesia is precise and only affects the tooth being treated

• This is for children of determination, and those who are too young, or too anxious from sitting for a dental treatment
• This treatment also reduces fears and phobias that can often result from having had a negative dental experience

• Using a technique called “The Hall Technique” which is a novel method of managing baby molars by cementing crowns on top of those teeth without local anesthesia, cavities removal, or tooth drilling of any kind

• When filling is not enough in case of a cavity, crowning is the way to go to protect your child's teeth, so don't worry
• White crowns are used and placed securely over the baby tooth, and only fall off when the permanent tooth erupts at the age of 9-11

• Once the decay is removed and cleaning is done, we fill the cavity with an amalgam or composite resin filling
• The filling closes off the damaged area to prevent bacteria from entering your child's tooth and ensure there will be no further decay
