Children’s Dental Checkups and Cleanings

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are important components to optimal oral health. Young smiles are prone to cavity development because of the manual dexterity that comes with brushing and flossing at an early age. However, by ensuring proper oral habits are practiced at home as well as allowing our team to perform professional checkups and cleanings, we can ensure the health and longevity of their smile. We will check for signs of decay, gum disease, bad breath, and monitor their bite development. We’ll also remove hardened plaque and tartar to prevent gum pockets from forming and give your child a final polish for a refreshing, beautiful smile.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a natural mineral that is extremely effective at combatting tooth decay and strengthening enamel. If your little one is prone to cavities or you would simply like to avoid the potential for decay from the start, we can quickly administer fluoride treatments near Forest Grove during their regular dental checkups and cleanings. This topical therapy will help to better protect their growing and developing teeth, but we encourage all parents to discuss the necessity of fluoride with our team to ensure your little one isn’t getting too much exposure early on.

Emergency Dentistry

Has your child suddenly developed a serious toothache? Did they knock out a tooth while riding their bike? Dental emergencies near Forest Grove are common at this age, but fortunately, the team at The Dentists at Orenco for Kids offers immediate assistance when your child needs it most. While the type of treatment will vary depending on the severity of the case, you can count on us to deliver timely care, a gentle touch, and effective, long-lasting results.

Dental Sealants

Your child’s molars and premolars can be hard to reach when brushing. As a result, the chewing surfaces can become inhabited by harmful bacteria and food particles. Because of the pits and grooves found in these teeth, they make for an ideal location for cavities to form. To protect these areas, our team can apply dental sealants near Forest Grove. This plastic, clear coating takes only minutes to apply and is virtually painless. Not only will it create a barrier to prevent bacteria from penetrating the enamel, but it will also strengthen these teeth and can remain firmly in place for a decade or longer (with proper care).

Mouthguards & Sportsguards

Does your child enjoy playing sports? If so, you’ll want to make sure their smile is protected against hard falls, tackles, and potential flying objects! Sports-related dental injuries are quite common throughout childhood and adolescence, which is why we would be happy to have a customized mouthguard near Forest Grove created to properly fit and protect your child’s smile. Unlike mass-produced oral devices, these are created based on impressions taken of their teeth to ensure a comfortable fit when worn.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

When a cavity develops, there is only one way to stop the spread of decay and prevent the need for more extensive restorative dentistry – tooth-colored fillings near Forest Grove. Once plaque penetrates the tooth enamel, a small hole will form known as a cavity. Using color-matched composite resin, which is a malleable substance, our team can easily clear away the decayed portions of your child’s tooth before filling it with the resin. This will not only create a tight seal to reduce the risk of future bacteria penetrating the tooth, but it will also blend in to match the rest of your child’s natural smile.
