When your child is very young, he or she may not have the attention span to sit in a dental chair for lengthy traditional dental treatment. We are here to guide you to make your own decision of what the next step should be.

Home Care

This may be the most important factor. Daily effective removal of plaque will prevent further breakdown of enamel/dentin. Dental plaque is a film of bacteria that can process food debris to produce acid, which causes dental decay.

Recall Appointments

It is important to have regular check ups for several reasons:

1) To ensure caries have not grown rapidly.

2)To apply medicament to help arrest caries or hinder the advancement of caries.

How fast caries grow depends on a lot of factors - genetics, diet, and oral hygiene.

Open Communication

Guardians should communicate with us regarding their ultimate goal, so we can tailor an individualized plan for the child. Every case has a unique solution because multiple factors play in the decision making process. What tooth it is, how long the child is going to have it, and whether it is a strategic tooth that may cause development issues should all be considered.
