Lindsey A. Robinson DDS Pediatric and Endodontic Dentistry takes exceptional care of your child’s oral health. Below are some of the preventive dental services that our pediatric practice provides.
Cleanings, Exams and X-rays
Professional cleanings performed by a hygienist or dental assistant are as important to your child’s dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Twice yearly dental check-ups and cleanings help catch problems when they are small and easier to treat. Left unattended, small treatable problems become worse and may require more extensive, expensive procedures to repair.
Fluoride Varnish
Applying a fluoride varnish protects a child’s primary (first) teeth from decay. Fluoride is applied twice a year from ages one to six or seven when the child gets their permanent teeth. Fluoride varnish works by repairing gaps in the tooth enamel, protecting teeth from plaque forming bacteria that likes to colonize in small pits and gaps.
