Dental Checkups & Cleanings for Kids
Kids need consistent dental care just as much as adults, and starting early makes all the difference. Children's checkups include a thorough cleaning, a careful exam, and age-appropriate guidance on brushing and flossing at home. We slow things down to ensure each visit is comfortable and positive. Building good experiences at the dentist now means a consistently healthy mouth in the future.
Dental Sealants
Back teeth are the hardest to clean, making them prone to cavities and tartar buildup. Dental sealants are like shields for teeth. When applied, these thin protective coatings fill in the grooves where bacteria and food like to hide, keeping them clean and unbothered. The process is quick and completely painless, so it's one of the safest preventive investments a parent can make.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver diamine fluoride, also known as SDF, is a non-invasive liquid treatment that stops cavities in their tracks without any instruments or anesthetic. It's applied directly to affected areas and works by remineralizing tooth structure and killing the bacteria causing decay. For young children and anxious patients, SDF offers a gentler path to stronger teeth.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Sports and active leisure account for many of the dental emergencies we see every day. That’s why Dr. Critz always recommends a custom athletic mouthguard. It’s specially fitted, so it offers superior protection compared to anything you could pick up at a sporting goods store. It's also comfortable enough that your child will have no problems wearing it.
